Program Summary

Courts are sanctioning attorneys for fabricated citations, and bar regulators have stopped treating generative AI as a novelty—Formal Opinion 512 now maps competence, confidentiality, and supervision duties directly onto tools most firms already run without policy or oversight. Any attorney drafting with GPT, Gemini, Claude, or Perplexity is exposed, whether or not they have read the opinion, because the duties of candor under Model Rule 3.3 and supervision under 5.1 and 5.3 attach the moment the output reaches a filing. This program closes that gap on both fronts. Troy Doucet breaks down each model's strengths and failure modes, sharpens your prompting for accuracy, and walks through "vibe coding"—building no-code mini-apps for your firm without programming. Adam Gutbezahl then works real disciplinary case studies against Rules 1.1, 1.6, and 8.4, allocating where AI fits in research, work product, and operations. You leave able to draft faster, deploy AI defensibly, and keep your name off the sanctions docket.

What Will You Learn

Attorneys will learn how to use OpenAI's GPT, Google's Gemini, Anthropic's Claude, and Perplexity for legal work, optimize their prompting, build no-code mini-apps, and apply AI ethically.

What Will You Gain

Attorneys will gain a clear understanding of how to leverage these technologies ethically, effectively, and in alignment with their professional responsibilities while improving accuracy and efficiency.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • AI models
    Each platform's strengths and limitations for legal work, with strategies for optimizing prompts.
  • Vibe coding
    Building mini-apps for your firm with no coding experience using simple prompting instructions.
  • Ethical duties
    Formal Opinion 512 and Model Rules on competence, confidentiality, and supervision.
  • Case studies
    Attorneys and law firms that misused Generative AI, what went wrong, and disciplinary action.
  • AI risks
    Data privacy, bias, unauthorized practice of law, and reliability of AI-generated content.
  • Best practices
    Integrating Generative AI responsibly in work product, firm operations, and legal research.

This course is co-sponsored with myLawCLE.
