Your AI Use Might Be an Ethics Violation: Evaluating Today’s AI Providers Using the Ethics Zone Framework
Are you using AI to draft briefs, analyze case law, or communicate with clients? Depending on which plan you're on, you may already be in violation of your ethical obligations, and most lawyers have no idea. AI tools have enormous potential to transform legal practice, but they carry drastically different levels of appropriateness depending on the type of work involved.
