Overview

CA Bar Proposes Formal AI Ethics Rules: Here's the Rundown

Attorneys are already facing consequences for getting AI wrong. Courts have sanctioned lawyers for relying on hallucinated citations, and careless use of AI tools has raised serious confidentiality and privilege concerns - with Heppner standing out as a clear warning.
Now the California State Bar is proposing formal amendments to its Rules of Professional Conduct addressing AI use, and their impact will not stop at its borders. This program breaks down what's changing, why attorneys in every jurisdiction should be paying attention, and what you should do now to stay compliant. Register today!

  • Understand how existing ethics are being applied to AI.
  • Break down California's proposed rule changes and what they signal for lawyers nationwide.
