With Jack Bernard, U-M Associate General Counsel

Please join us for the fall Communicators' Forum featuring Jack Bernard from the Office of the Vice President and General Counsel. Jack will chat with us about a variety of legal issues that relate to our work. In particular, he will explore some emerging issues in artificial intelligence and intellectual property. You'll have an opportunity to ask questions, both during and after the presentation. If you'd like to send a question for consideration in advance, please send us an email at communicators.forum-requests@umich.edu and we will pass questions along to Jack. This session will be recorded and shared with attendees following the event.

During the forum, you'll also hear an update on the Look to Michigan campaign and UMICH Votes will share resources communicators can use to get voting information to students in the final stretch leading up to the midterm elections.

Morning refreshments will be served from 9:30–10 a.m.

The presentation will start promptly at 10 a.m. We hope to see you there!

If you have any questions or if there are things we can do to accommodate your participation, please send us an email at communicators.forum-requests@umich.edu.
