Summary

COPRAC's recent advisory makes clear that efficiency does not replace professional responsibility. Powerful AI systems require human oversight, and the lawyer's obligation to supervise, verify, and own AI-assisted work is non-negotiable under California Rules of Professional Conduct Rule 1.1 and ABA Model Rule 5.3. Christian Puzder of Casefriend examines how attorneys can responsibly integrate AI into legal workflows without compromising ethics, confidentiality, or client interests. The program focuses on accountability-first AI use, covering competence obligations, confidentiality risks under RPC Rule 1.6, and practical frameworks for supervising AI-generated work product. Attendees will leave with concrete protocols for integrating AI tools while satisfying their professional responsibility obligations.
