CLE – Ethical Legal Research with Generative AI

Details

This CLE presentation is for legal professionals who want a better understanding of the intersection between generative AI and legal ethics.  Beginning with a foundational overview of AI and its generative capabilities, participants will explore the ethical implications as outlined by the American Bar Association (ABA) model rules.  Key topics include maintaining competency (Rule 1.1), ensuring confidentiality (Rule 1.6), and effective supervision (Rule 5.1) in the context of AI use.

The course will also address potential sanctions for unethical AI practices and provide insights into the application of AI in legal research tools, emphasizing ethical principles and considerations.  Participants will engage in discussions on specific ethical issues such as AI hallucinations, supervisory concerns, and confidentiality challenges.

The course concludes with a review of ethical AI use policies within law firms and an open discussion to consolidate learning and address participant queries.  This course is designed to equip legal professionals with the knowledge and tools necessary to ethically integrate AI into their practice.
