Recognizing, Configuring, and Governing AI in Everyday Practice
AI isn't just in the tools you choose to use - it's already embedded in the software you rely on every day. Microsoft Word, Adobe Acrobat, Zoom, Teams, and your practice management software all include AI-enabled features that may be active by default, often without you ever typing a prompt.
In this session, Jessica Lewis-Kelly and Dana Ortiz-Tulla from the New Jersey Judiciary – Administrative Office of the Courts, along with New Jersey Supreme Court Committee on Artificial Intelligence members Barry Schindler, Esq. and Chad Moore, Esq., will walk you through the ethical landscape of AI in legal practice. You'll learn how existing Rules of Professional Conduct apply to AI-enabled tools and what steps to take when something goes wrong.
What You'll Learn:
- Recognize where AI functionality already exists in your everyday legal tools
- Identify ethical risks created by default settings and permissions
- Apply New Jersey RPCs 1.1, 1.6, 3.3, 5.1, 5.3, and 8.4 to AI-enabled tools
- Understand courtroom and judicial-permission requirements for recording and transcription
- Learn how to remediate inadvertent AI-related errors
