Ethics of AI?drafted legal documents explored March 5


The National Business Institute will present a live video webinar on “Ethical Considerations When Using AI to Draft Legal Documents” Thursday, March 5, from noon to 3:15 p.m.

Imagine drafting a legal brief with the help of artificial intelligence (AI)… only to find out that the citations provided were bogus, and now, as a result, your reputation and your client’s case are at stake. Are you willing to gamble with those odds? 

In this course, practitioners delve into essential guidelines for sidestepping ethical landmines in AI-assisted legal research and drafting. To reinforce confidence in AI-assisted legal documents, attendees will learn how to:

• Review key ethics rules and opinions regarding AI use in legal writing.

• Find out how AI-assisted drafting triggers potential legal exposure.

• Examine best practices for safeguarding client data while using AI.

• Establish a quality control workflow for AI-assisted drafting.

The 2026 Affinity Bar Charity Challenge will take place Thursday, March 19, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Pops for Italian, 280 W. Nine Mile Rd. in Ferndale, for a fun night of giving back.
