ILS Speaker Series: The Latest in AI Advancements for Law Practice
June 29 @ 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm EDT
Webinar Description
Generative AI has already moved from novelty to fixture in legal practice, and its capabilities are growing almost faster than we can keep up. We have heard the stories about fabricated citations and hallucinations, and we’re far past that point now. But where exactly are we, as lawyers, in being able to use AI the way it should be used — to improve efficiency and lessen risk, rather than increase it? At the 2026 ABA Tech Show, nearly every exhibitor touted their harnessing of AI to make your practice better, but is that really happening? False AI output can cause erroneous formula gifts, missed deadlines, trusts that don’t match the client’s goals, and more — so how can we be sure that new AI tools are safe?
This webinar cuts through the hype and the noise to address the questions you’re actually facing: When does using AI cross an ethical line under ABA Formal Opinion 512 and your state’s individual guidance? Can you enter client or beneficiary information into these tools without breaching Rule 1.6? And how do you distinguish the tasks where AI genuinely helps from the ones where it quietly creates potential malpractice exposure?
Join us for a practical, T&E-focused session that translates the ethics rules into workflows you can actually use. We’ll cover the confidentiality framework for client data (and why it echoes the old encrypted-email debates), the high-risk drafting areas to keep AI away from — tax clauses, GST allocation, fiduciary powers, electronic will execution — alongside the lower-risk uses where it earns its keep. We’ll provide a citation-verification checklist, sample engagement-letter language, and other ideas to help you develop a concrete plan for using AI competently, confidentially, and defensibly — because the technology is a tool, and you remain the lawyer responsible for every word.
