Upcoming Chief Chats
Mark your calendars now! Chief Chats will continue in 2024. The chats will focus on topics of general interest for informal discussion. Continuing with last year’s format, the Chats will not be recorded and will not generate formal reports. The Chats are intended to promote chief-to-chief discussion and the exchange of ideas and problem-solving.

We will discuss current problems confronting intermediate appellate courts. Judge Hector LaSalle, Presiding Justice of the Appellate Division, Second Department in NY, will lead a discussion about the impact of Artificial Intelligence and other emerging technologies on the courts. Please join us with your questions and to let us know how your colleagues are dealing with these new technologies. And, if we have time, Judge Michele Christiansen Forster, Presiding Judge of the Utah Court of Appeals, will lead a discussion on the emerging distrust of our institutions and the lack of civility in our courtrooms.
