3RPC 2023 Ethical Compliance & Lawyer Obligations

Subscribing law firms acknowledge and agree to comply strictly with the Rules of Professional Conduct (2023):

• Rule 10 (Conflict of Interest): While CaseSimpli provides automated conflict checks and opposing party extraction tools, the practitioner must conduct their independent conflict of interest triage before accepting any retainer.
• Supervision of Automated Tools: AI draft suggestions and intake summaries must be reviewed and confirmed by a human practitioner before dispatch to clients or courts.
