Challenge: Ethical Implications of AI and Time Tracking

AI-assisted work may complicate traditional billable hour models, raising questions about fair pricing and transparency.

In 2024, the National Center for State Courts highlighted that lawyers will have to navigate the issues of:

• Not using AI if a client specifically chooses to have it excluded from their legal matters

• Determining proper fee schedules for using, supervising, and editing a product that relies on generative AI.[125]
