AI's Dirty Little Secrets: The Ethics Crisis Hiding in Plain Sight

Description:

For the first time since 2019, Stuart Teicher will be in Nashville at the TBA Office and CLE space to present three new ethics programs live and in-person! 

AI tools promise efficiency and innovation, but they're creating ethics landmines that most lawyers aren't even aware of. Professional legal educator Stuart Teicher, Esq. (known as The CLE Performer) exposes the overlooked dangers threatening confidentiality, billing issues, and professional judgment. From AI hallucinations that violate candor duties to automated work that muddles billing obligations, these technologies are reshaping legal practice in ways that demand immediate attention. Lawyers who embrace AI without understanding these hidden risks face malpractice exposure, disciplinary action, and ethical compromise. This program reveals what the tech cheerleaders won't tell you. Learning objectives include:

  • Identify how AI processing of confidential communications creates new privilege vulnerabilities under RPC 1.6
  • Navigate billing ethics for AI-generated work under RPC 1.5, including disclosure requirements and transparent fee structures
  • Recognize when AI delegation crosses into negligence under RPC 5.1 and determine which tasks require human oversight to avoid malpractice
