We concluded our Smart Advocacy conference with a luncheon address by AAJ President, Bruce Plaxen; and a presentation by long-time APTLA Member, Mark Raftus. Both were very well received by our audience! (Sadly, I missed photos of our AI panel with Rod Gillis, K.C. and David Brannen and our Vehicle Technology session by Karla Cassidy. Both gave us a lot of insight into the future.)
