Artificial intelligence and recent critical business decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court are among more than 150 different sessions during the three-day hybrid fall meeting of the American Bar Association Business Law Section in San Diego later this month.

The “Business Law Fall Meeting 2024,” sponsored by the ABA Business Law Section, will be conducted Thursday through Saturday, Sept. 12-14, online and in-person at Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina.

The Business Law Fall Meeting is the ultimate gathering of business law professionals from around the world, with more than 50 continuing legal education programs and scores of other discussions and events involving an array of public officials and business law practitioners. Altogether, more than 4,500 attendees are expected from 25 or more countries and more than 300 speakers.

Two showcase programs, both available virtually, are:

• “AI and Attorney-Client Privilege: A Brave New World for Lawyers” — Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing the legal landscape, raising critical ethical considerations.
