When to use it
Use once the regulator has given details of a complaint against a lawyer, to plan the response and advice on characterisation.
Used for these tasks
Each task page says how far AI may help with the task and what the lawyer must review.
How AI may be used
AI may tabulate the allegations and cross-reference the documents; the lawyer decides the characterisation and the response.
AI may
- Tabulate each allegation from the regulator’s notice with the documents it relies on
- Cross-reference the practitioner’s records to each allegation
AI must not
- Must not characterise conduct as unsatisfactory professional conduct or professional misconduct
- Must not draft the practitioner’s explanation
The lawyer checks
- Each allegation is matched to the correct statutory category and conduct rule
- Evidence for and against each allegation is complete
- The characterisation advice is the lawyer’s own
Method: how the Green, Yellow and Red levels are decided. This is guidance for planning, not legal advice.
