Program Description
As generative AI tools become more common in legal practice, so do the cautionary tales. This webinar takes attorneys inside the real-world disciplinary actions, sanctions, and public missteps that have emerged when lawyers relied on AI without adequate verification. We’ll explore what these cases are signaling about the rules of professional responsibility requirements for competence, diligence, supervision of staff and vendors, and how to communicate AI limits to clients.
Participants will walk away with practical, actionable lessons drawn directly from others’ mistakes. If you want to use AI confidently—and avoid becoming the next headline—this program gives you the insight and tools to do it responsibly.
