An Attorney's Guide to Ethical AI Use
The Skills Legal Professionals Need to Thrive in the Age of AI
Introduction
Artificial intelligence is reshaping the legal world — not by replacing attorneys, but by creating new expectations for how we work, communicate, and protect client information. As AI tools become more common in research, writing, and day-to-day decision-making, lawyers must learn how to use them responsibly, ethically, and in line with emerging professional standards.
An Attorney’s Guide to Ethical AI Use is designed to help you meet that challenge. Through live instruction, real scenarios, and clear practical guidance, you’ll learn how to use AI safely while avoiding ethical traps, protecting confidentiality, and maintaining the level of professional judgment the practice of law demands.
This course equips you with the knowledge and confidence to adopt AI in a way that strengthens — not risks — your practice. You’ll leave with a trusted framework for ethical decision-making, ensuring that your use of AI aligns with client expectations, court requirements, and your obligations as a legal professional.
CLE credit is pending approval and will be announced upon confirmation.
