Welcome to the Seattle & Greater Washington Law Alumni chapter! We’re glad you’re here. Our goal is to connect Lewis & Clark Law Alumni who live in Seattle (and the Greater Washington area) with each other, and to be a resource to prospective students, current students, and recent grads. We will also aim to host up to two events per year.
You are cordially invited to join us for our first event – a roundtable discussion on “The Billable Hour Crisis.”
- When: Wednesday, June 24 | 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM (Mingle from 5:00–5:30 PM, discussion to follow)
- Where: Tower 1201 (1201 3rd Ave., Seattle), 24th floor
- Perk: Dinner will be provided!
We are also very pleased to announce that Brad Krupicka ’10, managing partner of O’Hagan Meyer of the Portland and Seattle office, will be joining us as a guest speaker.
As AI reshapes the legal landscape, the traditional law firm model is facing unprecedented questions. We’ll be diving right into some of the most pressing topics, including:
- AI and the 80/20 reversal: Is the billable hour still ethical?
- Value-based pricing: Should firms finally move away from the clock?
- The ethics of AI billing: Can you bill a client for time spent prompt-engineering an AI?
- The future of education: How law schools should grade students when the “manual labor” of law is being automated?
- The boots-on-the-ground view: Perspective from an associate attorney
We also want to hear from you! What else would you like to bring to the table?
Space is strictly limited to 22 attendees to keep the discussion interactive! Please RSVP to secure your spot. RSVP HERE
