Responsible ChatGPT use in legal practice
A companion to Mostafa Soliman’s 2023 NYSBA article, connecting tool selection, information handling, and human review.
AI and legal ethics
Start with the work a lawyer is responsible for, then consider where AI fits. These readings connect the capabilities of generative tools to the decisions people still need to make: what information to share, what output to trust, and who reviews the result.
Questions to bring to your team
- What information is appropriate for the tool and its settings?
- How will a lawyer independently evaluate the output?
- Who is responsible for reviewing work before it reaches a client or court?
