To support responsible and informed use of AI in legal practice, Parlee McLaws LLP’s Sarah Gibbs has co-authored the Canadian Association of Law Libraries’ (CALL) new Assessment Guide for AI in Legal Research and Writing Applications. As clients increasingly look to law firms for clarity, precision, and responsible use of emerging technologies, this guide offers a rigorous, nationally endorsed framework for evaluating the safety, reliability, and integrity of AI tools used in legal work. The guide equips legal professionals with a structured methodology to assess critical issues such as data transparency, privacy, copyright, bias, and risk management. These are issues that matter deeply to clients who depend on accurate, ethical, and defensible legal outputs. Its value has already been recognized, as the guide has been adopted by the Nova Scotia Department of Cyber Security and Digital Solutions and will soon be featured in Peel Briefs Magazine. Tomorrow, Sarah Gibbs will deliver a webinar for CALL members and other practitioners, explaining how the guide can enhance both legal research workflows and the governance of AI-assisted tools. At Parlee McLaws, we believe responsible AI adoption is a client-service imperative. This work reflects our ongoing commitment to ensuring that every innovation we use, assess, or recommend meets the highest standards of legal accuracy and ethical accountability.
