Competence, Confidentiality, and Code: The Attorney's Ethical Duties in the Age of AI [On Demand]

Description: Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer a theoretical concern for legal professionals. It is already reshaping the way they research, draft, serve clients, handle court processes, and run their firms. logo of LEAP

In this CLE, we’ll explore today’s AI landscape, including public and enterprise tools, common legal use cases, automation bias, and the ways these technologies are creating new opportunities and ethical pressures in modern practice.

We will also examine the mandate for AI competence and why attorneys must understand how these tools can affect the practice of law. Attendees will consider key legal and ethical risk areas, including hallucinations, privacy, data protection, and emerging state, federal, and international developments shaping responsible AI use standards.

Anchored in ABA Formal Opinion 512 and the Model Rules of Professional Conduct, this session translates ethical obligations into sturdy guardrails. Topics will cover law firm AI policies, tool evaluation, human-in-the-loop review, billing and notice practices, insurance and audit concerns, considerations for protecting client data, and more.
