Paul W. Grimm, director of the Bolch Judicial Institute of Duke Law School, will moderate a conversation with Duke Law Professor Veronica Root Martinez, a member of the American Bar Association (ABA) Standing Committee on Ethics and Professional Responsibility, Duke Law Senior Lecturing Fellow Amy Richardson, an expert of legal ethics, and N.C. Senior Resident Superior Court Judge Martin (Marty) McGee, a student in Duke Law's Master of Judicial Studies program, about the ethical use of generative AI (GenAI) in the legal profession. In July, the ABA Standing Committee on Ethics and Professional Responsibility released its first formal opinion covering the growing use of GenAI in the practice of law. The panel's conversation will include discussion of this opinion and the broader legal context and ethical questions surrounding the use of GenAI in the legal profession. Judge McGee will provide a judge's perspective, as he implemented a standing order to guide the ethical use of generative Al in Superior Court in Cabarrus County. Lunch will be provided. Sponsored by the Bolch Judicial Institute. For more information about the event, please contact Lora Beth Farmer (lora.farmer@law.duke.edu).
