Program Summary

Session I – Understanding AI Prompting + Vibe Coding – Troy Doucet

This session explores the various AI models and their strengths and weaknesses for legal work, along with optimizing your prompting. It teaches how attorneys can effectively use leading AI models—including OpenAI’s GPT, Google’s Gemini, Anthropic’s Claude, and Perplexity—for legal work. Troy Doucet will explain each platform’s strengths and limitations, along with practical strategies for optimizing prompts to improve accuracy and efficiency. The session also introduces “Vibe Coding,” a no-code approach that enables lawyers to build simple mini-apps for their firms using plain-language prompts, with no programming experience required.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • OpenAI's GPT
  • Google's Gemini
  • Anthropic's Claude
  • Perplexity
  • Tutorial on "Vibe Coding"

Session II – Ethical Intelligence: Navigating Large Language Models in Legal Practice – Adam Gutbezahl

As Large Language Models and Generative Artificial Intelligence rapidly transform the legal landscape, attorneys must balance innovation with their ethical and professional duties. This session explores how attorneys may leverage this technology while adhering to their core obligations of competence, confidentiality, and supervision. Through real-world case studies, participants will examine common pitfalls and disciplinary risks, as well as practical strategies for reasonable adoption. We’ll discuss Formal Opinion 512, and briefly touch ABA Model Rules 1.1, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.9, 1.18, 3.1, 3.3, 5.1, 5.3, and 8.4. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how to leverage these technologies ethically, effectively, and in alignment with their professional responsibilities.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • Provide background information on that Large Language Models can (and cannot) do
  • Discuss case studies of attorneys and law firms that misused Generative AI by considering what went wrong, what disciplinary action occurred, how to avoid similar issues
  • Consider issues such as data privacy, bias, unauthorized practice of law, and the reliability of AI-generated content
  • Review best practices for integrating Generative AI responsibly in work product, firm operations, and legal research to balance innovation and professional responsibility
