Regulatory Sandbox

Utah has positioned itself as a national leader in legal innovation, most notably through its groundbreaking Office of Legal Services Innovation and Regulatory Sandbox program. This forward-thinking approach extends to artificial intelligence, where Utah has embraced technological advancement while maintaining essential ethical safeguards. Utah attorneys operate in a uniquely innovation-friendly environment, but must still adhere to core professional responsibilities when using AI tools.

Arizona has positioned itself as a national leader in legal innovation, becoming the first state to eliminate the prohibition on nonlawyer ownership of law firms and establishing a regulatory sandbox for legal technology companies. This forward-thinking approach extends to AI regulation, where Arizona balances innovation with robust client protections through its adaptation of existing ethics rules to emerging technologies.
