AI Rules for Kansas Law Firms
Last verified July 8, 2026
Kansas has not issued a bar opinion or court rule governing how lawyers use AI. The state's two AI-related actions so far, a ban on certain AI platforms on state systems and a newly formed court committee, do not yet impose direct duties on a private firm's day-to-day AI use, but both signal where state-facing obligations are headed.
Where Kansas Stands
No Kansas bar ethics opinion or state court rule addresses AI use in legal practice. HB 2313 (2025) bans DeepSeek and other foreign-adversary-controlled AI platforms from state devices and networks; it creates no direct duty for private firms, but if your firm handles state government engagements, avoid the banned platforms and expect security requirements to reference this law. Separately, the Kansas Supreme Court's Administrative Order 2025-CM-017, issued in February 2025, created a 21-member Ad Hoc Artificial Intelligence Committee to address AI use in the Kansas court system.
What's Still Pending
The Ad Hoc Artificial Intelligence Committee has not yet produced rules binding lawyers. Statewide AI guidance or court rules are the expected output of its work, so firms should track the committee rather than assume the current absence of rules will hold.
