Artificial intelligence is no longer a distant possibility—it’s already embedded in the way lawyers research, draft, review, and advise. But with these capabilities come legal and ethical minefields that can jeopardize your license, your clients, and your reputation. This program confronts the reality that tools such as ChatGPT, Harvey AI, Relativity, and contract analysis platforms can deliver impressive efficiencies, but can also expose attorneys to sanctions, malpractice claims, and disciplinary action if used without care.

Using the ABA Model Rules as a guide—covering competence, confidentiality, supervision, and fees—participants will dissect how long-standing ethical standards apply in the AI context. The course examines the hidden dangers of bias in algorithms, inaccuracies in AI-generated output, vulnerabilities to data breaches, and the professional pitfalls of overreliance.

Rather than focusing on theory alone, the session grounds these issues in practice, including lessons from the Mata v. Avianca sanctions case. Attendees will come away with concrete governance frameworks, implementation checklists, and compliance strategies to ensure AI is deployed responsibly. The goal: empower attorneys to harness AI’s potential while protecting clients, maintaining efficiency, and upholding professional integrity in a rapidly evolving, tech-driven marketplace.
