Federal judges are telling their own kids not to answer the door to strangers. That’s why judicial security now sits at the top of the Federal Bar Association’s Capitol Hill agenda.

Now-FBA President Kevin Maxim joins us to talk about rebuilding the in-person connections the pandemic took from the profession, and a big question for lawyers right now: what happens to attorney-client privilege when confidential communications go into AI tools?

Recorded live at the 2026 ALPS Bar Leaders Retreat in Missoula, MT.
