Is it ethical for paralegals to use AI?
Yes, with care. ABA Formal Opinion 512 (July 2024) says lawyers using generative AI must understand what it can and cannot do, protect client confidences, review its output, and bill fairly for the time it saves. Many state bars have issued similar guidance. This is general information, not legal advice.
