“AI is ubiquitous, but many lawyers and judges are rightly uncertain about its utility in law. This article explores generative AI (GenAI) and demonstrates how various GenAI programs, including those designed for lawyers, work. It goes on to outline benefits of and problems with GenAI, discusses the ways courts have attempted to regulate GenAI usage, and recommends an approach to GenAI rules that helps ensure compliance with ethical and other obligations while encouraging the development and use of GenAI programs that have the power to transform law practice.”
