Description
This session, AI in Legal Practice, is designed for legal professionals seeking to strengthen ethical judgement, cognitive accountability and responsible AI integration in modern legal practice.
The challenge
AI is increasingly influencing legal research, drafting and advisory work. While these tools create efficiencies, they also introduce professional, ethical and reputational risks. Common challenges include:
Over-reliance on AI-generated legal outputs
Reduced clarity around professional accountability and authorship
Risks to legal judgement and cognitive ownership
Ethical and professional responsibility concerns in AI-assisted practice
Navigating evolving obligations relating to AI use in legal environments
Our approach
Grounded in psychology, ethical leadership and professional practice, this session focuses on helping lawyers maintain professional integrity, sound judgement and accountability while working alongside AI technologies.
What you’ll explore
The ethical implications of AI-assisted legal work
Cognitive accountability and professional judgement in legal practice
AI-assisted legal research risks and limitations
Practical ethical guardrails for responsible AI use
Strategies to strengthen decision-making and professional oversight
Who this is for
Lawyers, in-house counsel, barristers and legal professionals across all career stages navigating the growing role of AI in legal practice.
No technical AI background required. This is a professional judgement and ethical capability-focused session.
CPD eligibility
CPD for lawyers operates on a self-assessment model. Professional development relating to Professional Skills explicitly includes communication, negotiation, advocacy and ethical decision-making. Practice Management covers business efficiency, risk management and client service standards. You determine whether a specific program is relevant to your practice needs.
