Використання GOOGLE-сервісів у професійній діяльності правника: можливості та виклики

Abstract

This article examines the integration of Google’s cloud ecosystem and AI tools into modern legal practice, establishing digital competence as a fundamental professional requirement. The research explores how Google Workspace and Google Calendar provide a secure infrastructure for collaborative case management, procedural deadline tracking, and document drafting, while Google Scholar enhances evidence-based judicial argumentation. The study specifically evaluates the application of AI tools, such as Google NotebookLM and Gemini, for synthesizing unstructured legal data. The author draws a critical distinction between consumer-grade and enterprise-grade (Google Workspace) environments, identifying the latter as the only viable standard for maintaining attorney-client privilege and strict data privacy. Furthermore, the paper discusses the "human-in-the-loop" principle, asserting that while AI-driven synthesis streamlines complex case preparation, the legal practitioner remains the sole bearer of professional accountability for any automatically generated content. Drawing upon the 2025 Guidelines by the Ukrainian Ministry of Digital Transformation, the study highlights the absolute imperative of mitigating AI "hallucinations" through rigorous verification. The research substantiates that bridging the current utilization gap in legal tech is essential for the provision of higher-tier legal assistance. The author concludes that while these technologies offer immense potential for workflow automation, maximizing their efficacy requires a strategic balance between technological integration and strict human intellectual oversight within the digitalized judicial landscape.
