As AI becomes increasingly integrated into legal practices, legal professionals must understand both its capabilities and inherent risks. While AI offers powerful tools to support legal analysis, it simultaneously raises serious concerns regarding accuracy, confidentiality, and ethical application.
To address these critical issues, PNELF's summer interns undertook a comprehensive project modeling a hypothetical legal case using various legal AI platforms. Their objective was to assess whether these technologies produce outputs meeting the rigorous standards required for professional legal practice. Concurrently, they examined the broader policy implications of AI adoption through the lens of academic integrity in higher education—a domain where these challenges have already manifested.
Join Frank J. Bailey, President of Pioneer New England Legal Foundation, along with PNELF’s summer interns, for this dual examination of both practical applications and policy considerations. This program provides a timely and essential analysis of how legal professionals can engage critically and responsibly with AI tools while safeguarding the fundamental integrity of our justice system.
