#knowmoreriskless
Generative AI is rapidly changing how legal work gets done. From legal research and document drafting to discovery review, client communications, and marketing, AI tools are becoming part of everyday law firm operations. But with those efficiencies come significant ethical, professional, and risk management considerations.
This CLE presentation explores how attorneys are using generative AI today, where the technology can provide meaningful value, and where it can create serious problems. Through real-world court cases, disciplinary actions, and emerging legal guidance, you’ll learn why attorneys remain responsible for everything AI produces and how to avoid common pitfalls such as hallucinated case citations, confidentiality breaches, biased outputs, and improper billing practices.
The presenters also examine recent guidance from the ABA and Texas legal authorities, discuss developing court requirements related to AI-generated filings, and provide practical recommendations for creating internal policies that help firms use AI responsibly and ethically.
This lesson covers:
- How generative AI works and why law firms are increasingly adopting it
