Ethics-Vetted Legal AI Guides
Before Briefing Layer: Counselor
The Problem
An attorney files a brief with AI-hallucinated citations and faces sanctions. Your firm has no verification protocol.
Every edition includes citation verification workflows and flags new court orders requiring AI disclosure.
AI ethics guidance differs across 30+ states. Your multi-jurisdictional practice cannot track which rules apply where.
Real-time regulatory alerts organized by jurisdiction, with plain-language summaries of what each new rule means for your practice.
Associates are using ChatGPT on client matters without oversight. You have no policy, no training, and no audit trail.
Ready-to-adopt AI usage policies, Model Rule-aligned supervision frameworks, and CLE-eligible training modules.
Competing firms advertise AI-powered services. Your attorneys do not know which tools are safe to use with client data.
Ethics-vetted tool reviews that evaluate confidentiality, privilege protection, and compliance for every major legal AI product.
The Platform
Eight integrated products that make AI adoption safe, strategic, and practical.
Curated intelligence on AI developments that affect legal practice, filtered for relevance and scored for ethics impact. Read in 8 minutes.
Listen to each edition during your commute. AI-generated audio with attorney-friendly pacing and emphasis on actionable takeaways.
Benchmark your firm's AI governance, technology adoption, and training against peers. 17 questions mapped to ABA Model Rules.
Deep-dive reviews of CoCounsel, Harvey, CaseText, and more. Each review covers confidentiality, privilege risk, and jurisdiction-specific compliance.
Ask questions about AI ethics obligations, tool selection, or implementation strategy. Grounded in Model Rules, ethics opinions, and state bar guidance.
Instant notifications when courts issue AI standing orders, state bars publish guidance, or the ABA updates its positions on AI in legal practice.
Plus: quarterly deep-dive reports, monthly live tool demos, and breaking regulatory alerts.
What Subscribers Say
“We needed one source that could tell us both what AI tools to evaluate and what ethical guardrails to put around them. Briefing Layer: Counselor is that source.”
Sarah Chen

Michael Torres
General Counsel, Fortune 500
“The regulatory alert on Pennsylvania's disclosure mandate reached us three weeks before any other source. That lead time let us update our procedures without scrambling.”

No. Briefing Layer: Counselor provides educational intelligence about AI in legal practice. It does not constitute legal advice or ethics opinions. Always consult your jurisdiction's bar association or an ethics attorney for guidance on specific situations.
We are pursuing CLE accreditation in multiple jurisdictions. Currently, our content supports AI competency education that may qualify for self-study CLE credit depending on your state's rules. Check with your state bar for specific requirements.
Each tool review assesses data handling practices against Model Rule 1.6 (Confidentiality), evaluates whether the tool's outputs require verification under Rule 3.3 (Candor), and examines supervision requirements under Rule 5.3. We also track jurisdiction-specific requirements and vendor data processing agreements.
Our content serves attorneys at every firm size. Solo practitioners face the same competence obligations under Model Rule 1.1 and often have fewer resources to track AI developments. The scorecard and tool reviews are designed to scale from solo practice to AmLaw 100.
We monitor ABA publications, state bar feeds, court orders, and ethics opinions daily. Regulatory alerts are sent within 24 hours of significant developments. The weekly briefing synthesizes the most important changes with practice-specific analysis.
Your competitors are already experimenting. The question isn't whether to adopt — it's whether you'll lead the transition or chase it.
