I recently attended a program on the "Top Ten" topics in legal ethics for 2025 and I bet you will not be surprised to learn that number one was a collection of issues related to the use of AI in the practice of law. And, for that reason, it is important to report that the ABA Task Force on Law and Artificial Intelligence recently published its 2025 report.
As reported by Bob Ambrogi in Law Sites,
Artificial intelligence is no longer an abstract or experimental technology for lawyers – it is rapidly becoming core infrastructure for law practice, courts, legal education and access-to-justice efforts, and the legal profession must now shift its focus from whether to use AI to how to govern, supervise and integrate it responsibly.
That is the central conclusion of a report released yesterday from the American Bar Association’s Task Force on Law and Artificial Intelligence, a 56-page assessment that takes stock of how AI is already reshaping the profession and discusses the risks, opportunities and unresolved challenges that lie ahead.
The report, Addressing the Legal Challenges of AI: Year 2 Report on the Impact of AI on the Practice of Law, arrives at what the Task Force calls a “pivotal moment” for the profession. AI adoption has accelerated dramatically over the past year, pushing lawyers, judges, regulators and educators into unfamiliar terrain that demands new ethical frameworks, governance models and competencies.
You can get a free copy of the report here.
Look out for more commentary in the next few weeks. I just saw the first one in Above the Law here.
