AI Legal Index
Index · The professional responsibility question

What do the bar rules require before a lawyer uses AI on client matters?

Index data last verified

The obligations are written down and they belong to the lawyer, not to the software. Competence, confidentiality, communication with the client, supervision of the work, reasonable fees and candour to the court all continue to apply, and the American Bar Association addressed generative AI directly in Formal Opinion 512 in 2024, with a growing number of state bars issuing their own guidance that differs on the points that matter most, including client consent. No vendor can discharge a lawyer's duty. What a vendor can do is publish the artifacts that make discharging it practical, and on that the market is largely silent. Of 463 legal AI vendors recorded by the AI Legal Index, 2 publish a mapping of their product to named ethics opinions across more than one jurisdiction, 43 engage in public with even one named opinion, 169 refer to professional responsibility in general terms without naming any guidance, and 248 publish nothing located on the subject at all.

The duty is the lawyer’s and the applicable rules vary by jurisdiction, so this page does not tell anyone what their obligations are and is not a substitute for reading the guidance that binds them. What an index can do is answer the question the guidance leaves open, which is what the market has published against it. The AI Legal Index records four professional responsibility signals on every vendor and grades all of them on UPL and Professional Responsibility Posture. Those five records are what the rest of this page reports.

Has the vendor engaged with the guidance its buyers are bound by?

Named guidance addressed

Not whether the vendor claims to take ethics seriously. Whether it has read the opinions its customers are governed by and published something a firm can hand to its own risk committee.

Below the named tier, 169 vendors refer to professional responsibility in general terms without naming any guidance, and 248 of 463 publish nothing located on the subject. A signal records what public sources say on the date shown. It is not a grade and it is not a recommendation. Where a signal reads Not addressed, it means the index did not locate the material in public sources on that date, which is a statement about disclosure rather than about the product.

The uncomfortable one

What happens to the bill when the work takes an hour instead of six?

Ethics guidance is direct that a lawyer bills for time actually spent, so a product that compresses six hours into one has changed the invoice and not only the workflow. 272 of 463 vendors claim time savings in their public materials while publishing nothing about billing, fee or disclosure treatment. 1 publish both a per matter record of AI assisted work and guidance on how to treat it on the bill. 12 emit a usable record with no published fee guidance: Anaqua, ContractKen, Counsel Stack, HAQQ, Neota Logic, Qanooni, Referent, Trailmate, Truth Systems, Vesence, Vulcan Technologies and VXT. 31 address none of it. The gap between marketing hours saved to the buyer and staying silent on the client's side of that same equation is the most commercially uncomfortable finding in this index, and it is also the easiest one for a vendor to fix.

This question has its own page, with the record tier crossed against published pricing: how should a law firm bill for AI assisted work.

If a judge requires an AI disclosure, can the product produce one?

Exportable disclosure record

A number of judges now require filers to disclose whether generative AI was used and to certify that citations were checked by a human. Answering that honestly means knowing which model produced which passage, what was retrieved and who verified it. 4 of 463 vendors export a document level record covering all three. 268 produce some of it, short of a document level export. 4 publish guidance or a template with no product support behind it, and 186 publish nothing on court disclosure or verification certification. The certifying signature belongs to the lawyer either way. The difference is whether the record behind it takes two minutes to produce or has to be reconstructed from memory.

This question has its own page, built around the three lines a standing order asks for and crossed with whether the law behind the record was checked: can legal AI tools produce an AI disclosure record for a court.

Can a firm get this vendor through a client’s AI clause?

Disclosure pack published

Corporate clients have started writing AI terms into outside counsel guidelines, which reverses the direction of diligence. The firm now has to evidence its vendor to its own client, and the artifacts are a current subprocessor list, a statement of which model providers see client content, and something forwardable.

A further 158 publish a current subprocessor or model provider list without the client facing material around it. 91 hold the material behind a sales conversation or an executed agreement, which is the tier worth watching, because a firm under a client deadline experiences on request as absent. 171 of 457 publish nothing that supports a client side disclosure obligation.

What the index cannot tell you

Whether any particular use of any particular product satisfies any particular rule. That depends on the jurisdiction, the matter, the client and the lawyer, and it is not a question an index answers. A vendor publishing nothing about ethics guidance is a statement about that vendor’s disclosure and not about anyone’s compliance. Nothing here is legal advice.

The records also reach only as far as public material. A vendor that walks a firm through all of this in a procurement call and publishes none of it grades on what it published, and an absence is dated: it means not located in public sources on the date shown, redated the day the vendor publishes. The reason the published position still matters is that a procurement call leaves no artifact, and an artifact is what a firm hands to its risk committee, its client, or a court asking what steps were taken.

The AI Legal Index is an editorial reference. It is not a regulatory body, not a law firm, and nothing published here is legal advice or a recommendation to retain or avoid a vendor. Records are verified against published sources, bar guidance and public court records. Where a record reads not addressed, the material was not located in public sources on the date shown. See the Methodology page for evaluation standards and limitations.
