Beyond the AI Policy: Building a Dynamic Culture of AI Use in Legal Departments and Law Firms
A Law.com piece argues that written AI policies alone are not enough for legal departments and law firms — the real work is building an ongoing organizational culture around how AI is actually used day to day.
Why this matters: A policy document filed in a shared drive does not change how lawyers and staff use AI tools under deadline pressure. Culture does. Legal work involves privileged communications, client data, and high-stakes decisions. If the people doing that work do not genuinely understand the risks — not just sign off on a policy — the exposure is real. Rules set a floor. Behavior sets the actual risk level.
