SUMMARY:Responsible AI and Defensible Legal Practice for Canadian Immigration Lawyers, Brought to you by Lextar AI Legal Solutions Inc.
DESCRIPTION:As Generative AI (GenAI) transitions from a novelty to a multibillion-dollar industry staple, the stakes for Canadian immigration practitioners have never been higher. This webinar provides a roadmap for integrating AI into your practice without compromising your professional standing or client data.\n\nJoin CILA on Wednesday May 27 for a 90 minute webinar, brought to you by Lextar AI Legal Solutions Inc., that will cover these topics and more:\n\n\nThe AI Landscape: From Hype to High Stakes An overview of the rapid evolution of legal-specific GenAI over the past 24 months. We’ll discuss why “generic” tools (like basic ChatGPT) differ from professional legal platforms and how the industry has matured to meet lawyer-specific needs.\n\n\nThe “Defensible” Practice: Lessons from Recent Case Law We will analyze recent real-world judicial rebukes of “AI hallucinations” in court filings. Learn how to shield your practice from the risks of inaccurate citations and ensure your submissions meet the scrutiny of both adjudicators and the Law Society.\n\n\nData Sovereignty & Ethics: Where is Your Client’s Data? Not all clouds are created equal. We’ll break down:\n\n\nData Hosting: Understanding the physical location of servers (Canada vs. US/International).\n\n\nProcessing vs. Storage: Navigating strict client mandates on data residency.\n\n\nConfidentiality: How to ensure your inputs aren’t training public models.\n\n\n\n\nPrompt Engineering & Critical Judgment Practical strategies to get the best out of GenAI. We will cover “Human-in-the-loop” workflows—learning to identify when an output is subtly misleading and applying the “smell test” to AI-generated legal reasoning.\n\n\nBuilding Your Firm’s AI Constitution A guide to developing internal AI guidelines that balance innovation with professional responsibility. Learn how to draft policies that address disclosure, billing for AI-assisted work, and junior associate supervision.\n\n\nFeatured Panelists\nWe are honored to welcome two leading practitioners who will share their frontline expertise:\n\n\nDr. Horace King, CEO, Lextar AI Legal Solutions Inc.: Dr. Horace King (Chaowu Jin, PhD) is a former professor of law and a legal-technology entrepreneur. He’s now working as commercial arbitrator and RCIC.

Dr. King is a member of the ADR Institute of Canada (ADRIC) and ADRIO. A pioneer in legal technology, Dr. King previously founded LawInfoChina, one of the earliest online legal information platforms, which secured major licensing agreements with LexisNexis. Today, as the Founder and CEO of Lextar AI Legal Solutions Inc., his work focuses on addressing the legal profession’s need for structured, verifiable, and governance-grade artificial intelligence infrastructure.\n\n\nErin Kanygin, Strategy & Innovation Advisor, Stewart McKelvey.

Unlike generic generative AI chatbots that produce “black box” answers, Lextar AI makes legal analysis transparent, traceable, and defensible. The platform structurally aligns specific case facts directly with statutory provisions, maps exact citations, and detects evidence gaps. By automating the most intellectually demanding parts of legal practice while maintaining a fully auditable logic trail, Lextar AI eliminates the “verification burden.” We empower legal professionals to safely integrate AI into their practices without compromising their duty of competence, client confidentiality, or professional responsibility.\n
