Supreme Court of Arkansas
In Re Amendments to the Arkansas Rules of Professional Conduct
June 5, 20252025 Ark. 115
Summary
The Supreme Court of Arkansas published proposed amendments to the Arkansas Rules of Professional Conduct for public comment in response to the growing use of artificial intelligence in legal practice. The proposed amendments would expressly recognize attorneys' use of non-human assistance, including AI, while providing that such use does not excuse or mitigate violations of professional-conduct rules, and would revise the heading of Rule 5.3. The court invited written comments through August 1, 2025, and reserved the ability to amend the proposal afterward.
