Why it matters
The report aims to provide clear guidelines on the use of AI tools as a resource, so attorneys can use AI responsibly and ethically in their practices. This is important because AI is indelibly changing the practice of law, and lawyers need to be aware of the potential perils of using AI, including inadvertently practicing law in a jurisdiction where they are not licensed or failing to notify clients or the courts of AI use.
