Guest: Tanina Rostain, Georgetown Law School.

Increased adoption of AI by law firms raises questions about how lawyers can harness artificial intelligence consistent with their professional responsibilities. Georgetown Law Professor Tanina Rostain answers questions about the transformative impact of AI on law and how the rules of professional conduct apply to the new ways that attorneys are using AI tech to conduct research, draft documents, and interact with clients.

As AI models show increasing proficiency in performing legal work, when may technology cross the line into unauthorized practice of law (UPL). Professor Rostain discusses what constitutes the “practice of law” when it comes to AI and suggests that the legal profession may eventually need to bend. According to Rostain, the benefits of AI for people who need legal assistance cannot be stifled by financial protectionism with superficial claims of protecting the public.

Tanina Rostain is a professor of law at Georgetown Law Center. For attorneys, a CLE version of this interview can be found at www.talksonlaw.com or by following this link.
