Practicing by Algorithm: The Ethics of AI for Lawyers
About this program
The use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) is exploding everywhere including the practice of law. As lawyers increasingly use AI in a variety of ways, the possible misuses of AI multiply and expand, creating risks for the unwary. This program will focus on the ethics of using AI in legal practice and the application of ethics principles, including duties of competence, confidentiality, supervision, and others, including the duty to report misuse pursuant to Rule 8.3. This program is suitable both for those who are familiar with AI and its uses in legal practice and for those who have little or no experience with those tools.
This OnDemand CLE program earns 1 hour of Legal Ethics credit in California. It aired October 28, 2025 and features Merri A. Baldwin.
