Formal Opinion 512 (2024)Confidentiality, competence, supervision, communication, and reasonable fees when using generative AI.
For case-scoped AI work, Draftiro can create a draft time entry flagged "AI-assisted" for attorney review, editing, or deletion before billing; it does not determine billing compliance. Draft entries default to the elapsed time of the AI exchange; adjust them to the time you actually spent. Op. 512 cautions that boilerplate engagement-letter language alone is not sufficient for informed consent.

Cal. Bar Practical Guidance on Generative AI (2023)Lawyer must understand the technology, protect confidentiality, supervise output, and bill ethically.
Supported case citations get a CourtListener check when available (statutes and rules are not checked). Draftiro does not use your matter content to train AI models. An audit log records significant account actions, and sensitive account actions ask for step-up verification.

Florida
Florida Bar Ethics Op. 24-1 (2024)Lawyers may use generative AI if they protect confidentiality, supervise and verify output, charge reasonable fees and follow advertising rules. The opinion recommends getting the client's informed consent before using a third-party AI program that would disclose confidential information.
Draftiro does not use matter content to train AI models, but using Draftiro sends client information to third-party providers (see Privacy Policy, Section 4). Whether to obtain client consent is your decision.
