The Australian Solicitors’ Conduct Rules provide a framework for ethical legal practice. Key principles include:

• Confidentiality - protecting client information when using digital systems
• Integrity - ensuring decisions are not solely based on AI outputs
• Accountability - maintaining responsibility for all professional decisions
• Professionalism - upholding ethical standards in all aspects of practice

Legal professionals must ensure that the use of AI aligns with these ethical obligations (Law Council of Australia, 2020).
