ABA Issues First Ethics Guidance on a Lawyers Use of AI Tools

When:  Oct 15, 2024 from 12:00 to 12:45 (ET)

12:00pm ET / 9:00am PT


In July 2024, the American Bar Association’s Standing Committee on Ethics and Professional Responsibility released Formal Opinion 512—its first formal opinion covering the growing use of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) in the practice of law, pointing out that model rules related to competency, informed consent, confidentiality and fees principally apply. 

 

As the Formal Opinion concludes, “With the ever-evolving use of technology by lawyers and courts, lawyers must be vigilant in complying with the Rules of Professional Conduct to ensure that lawyers are adhering to their ethical responsibilities and that clients are protected.”

 

This webinar session will highlight key guidance provided through the ABA Committee’s Formal Opinion 512.
