Lexis CLE | Ethical Legal Research with Generative AI Online
Join us for a virtual Continuing Legal Education (CLE) program facilitated by LexisNexis. To receive one credit from the program, attendees must be present for the entire class.
This class is tailored towards attorneys looking to gain Continuing Legal Education credit, but all DOC staff are welcome to attend.
This CLE presentation is for legal professionals who want a better understanding of the intersection between generative AI and legal ethics. Beginning with a foundational overview of AI and its generative capabilities, participants will explore the ethical implications as outlined by the American Bar Association (ABA) model rules. Key topics include maintaining competency (Rule 1.1), ensuring confidentiality (Rule 1.6), and effective supervision (Rule 5.1) in the context of AI use. The course will also address potential sanctions for unethical AI practices and provide insights into the application of AI in legal research tools, emphasizing ethical principles and considerations. Specific ethical issues such as AI hallucinations, supervisory concerns, and confidentiality challenges will also be covered. The course concludes with a review of current ethical AI use policies at law firms and organizations. This course is designed to equip legal professionals with the knowledge and tools necessary to ethically integrate AI into their practice.
LexisNexis seeks credit based on the content, but the type of credit allowed is determined by the state governing MCLE Board. Please note that approval of a course is at the discretion of each state bar.
