AI and Legal Ethics: Privilege, Disclosure, and Hallucinated Case Law

As a qualified legal practitioner, you already know that professional obligations—confidentiality, privilege, candour to the court—cannot be outsourced. Yet AI tools now draft submissions, review discovery, and generate legal research. This book gives you a practical, ethics-first framework for using AI without breaching your duties. It unpacks how attorney–client privilege survives (or collapses) when client data passes through a cloud model, when you must disclose AI assistance to a tribunal, and how to spot hallucinations before they infect a filing. Each chapter walks you through concrete risks—waiver by inadvertent disclosure, fabricated citations, hidden biases in training data—and the verification practices that keep you safe. You will learn to brief AI assistants properly, audit their outputs, and maintain the human accountability that the rule of law demands. This is not a technology manual; it is guidance for the conscientious lawyer who needs to stay competent, truthful, and protected. Part of The AI at Work Library.
