Meeting for the last time in 2023 on Friday, the Board of Governors approved a raft of proposed rule revisions that included some of the nation’s first guidelines for the use of generative AI in the practice of law.

During a marathon session in a Destin conference room, the board voted unanimously to recommend a handful of proposals by the Special Committee on AI Tools & Resources, a panel President Scott Westheimer formed just this summer.

“The special AI committee has been extremely busy since we first met in August,” said Co-Chair Gordon Glover.
