Legal AI Ethics for In-House Counsel: Privilege, Accuracy, and Professional Responsibility in Practice

AI is quickly becoming part of day-to-day legal work, but the ethical rules are still being tested in real time. Courts are now addressing how privilege, work product protection, confidentiality, and professional responsibility apply when lawyers use AI tools to research, draft, analyze, and advise. In-house legal teams aren’t deciding whether to use AI. They’re figuring out how to use it responsibly, defensibly, and with the right guardrails.

Join us on Tuesday, May 19, 2026, at 12:00 PM ET / 9:00 AM PT as Amanda Ferriss, Solutions Attorney at GC AI, leads a practical, 60-minute live class on legal AI ethics for in-house counsel. Grounded in ABA Formal Opinion 512 and recent case law, this interactive session will give legal teams a clear framework for evaluating AI-assisted work, managing risk, and meeting professional obligations while still benefiting from the efficiency AI can provide.

Attendees will learn how to:

• Assess privilege and confidentiality risks when using AI tools, including how courts are analyzing privilege claims in AI-assisted workflows
• Understand hallucinations and accuracy issues, including why AI can produce unreliable output and how better instructions can reduce risk
• Build practical verification checklists to confirm AI-generated analysis before relying on it
• Strengthen quality control and supervision, including how to spot automation bias and maintain lawyer oversight as trust in AI tools grows
• Apply ethical guidance in practice through risk assessments, discussion, and hands-on exercises

Who Should Attend:

This program is designed for in-house counsel, legal operations professionals, compliance leaders, and legal team members who are using, evaluating, or overseeing AI tools in legal work. It will be especially useful for legal professionals responsible for privilege, confidentiality, outside counsel management, internal policies, contract review, litigation support, or AI governance within the legal department.

There is NO COST to attend this program!
