Review an advice-drafting process without writing advice
Key facts
- Human involvement
- RedLawyer-led
- How AI is used
- List the steps in the file between an AI draft and the version that would be sent to a client, and whether a person is named as reviewing it. Write no advice sentence.
- What the lawyer must review
- A statement of advice, or any client advice, that will be sent is written by the lawyer or the adviser responsible for it. The tool writes none of it. Rule 206(4)-7 requires written policies reasonably designed to prevent violations, a review no less frequently than annually, and a designated chief compliance officer. Press release 2024-36, 18 March 2024, describes settled charges for false and misleading statements about the use of artificial intelligence. Formal Opinion 512 requires verification before output is used.
