AI Ethics for Legal Professionals

Handling Sensitive Outputs: Review, Redaction, Storage

Even if your inputs are sanitized, outputs can still contain sensitive material (especially if you fed the tool detailed facts). Treat AI outputs like drafts that require careful review and secure handling.

Output review checklist

  • Scan for confidential facts, identifiers, and privileged content.
  • Remove speculative statements and unsupported conclusions.
  • Verify all citations, quotations, and numeric claims.
  • Confirm the tone is professional and not misleading.

Redaction best practices

If you must share an output (internally or externally), ensure it is properly redacted:

  • Use approved redaction tools (not manual black boxes in Word).
  • Remove metadata where required.
  • Have a second reviewer check redactions for completeness.

Secure storage & retention

  • Store AI prompts/outputs in the matter file if your policy requires it.
  • Do not store sensitive outputs in personal accounts or unapproved cloud drives.
  • Follow retention and deletion rules—especially for vendor platforms.

Activity: “two‑person redaction check”

Pick one AI output and practice a two‑person check:

  1. Reviewer 1 redacts.
  2. Reviewer 2 verifies no sensitive info remains and redactions are technically sound.
