Session II – Ethical Intelligence: Navigating Large Language Models in Legal Practice – Adam Gutbezahl
As Large Language Models and Generative Artificial Intelligence rapidly transform the legal landscape, attorneys must balance innovation with their ethical and professional duties. This session explores how attorneys may leverage this technology while adhering to their core obligations of competence, confidentiality, and supervision. Through real-world case studies, participants will examine common pitfalls and disciplinary risks, as well as practical strategies for reasonable adoption. We’ll discuss Formal Opinion 512, and briefly touch ABA Model Rules 1.1, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.9, 1.18, 3.1, 3.3, 5.1, 5.3, and 8.4. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how to leverage these technologies ethically, effectively, and in alignment with their professional responsibilities.
Key topics to be discussed:
- Provide background information on that Large Language Models can (and cannot) do
- Discuss case studies of attorneys and law firms that misused Generative AI by considering what went wrong, what disciplinary action occurred, how to avoid similar issues
- Consider issues such as data privacy, bias, unauthorized practice of law, and the reliability of AI-generated content
- Review best practices for integrating Generative AI responsibly in work product, firm operations, and legal research to balance innovation and professional responsibility
