Every few weeks, it seems like there’s a new headline about a lawyer getting in trouble for submitting filings containing, in the words of one judge, “bogus AI-generated research.” The details vary, but the throughline is the same: an attorney turns to a large language model (LLM) like ChatGPT to help them with legal research (or worse, writing), the LLM hallucinates cases that don’t exist, and the lawyer is none the wiser until the judge or opposing counsel points out their mistake. In some cas

Last week, another California-based judge caught another hallucination in a court filing, this time submitted by the AI company Anthropic in the lawsuit that record labels have brought against it over copyright issues. One of Anthropic’s lawyers had asked the company’s AI model Claude to create a citation for a legal article, but Claude included the wrong title and author.

WTF?! Generative AI is going to have a huge impact on the way we work. There are the bad elements, such as job losses and the environmental impact, and the good ones, like making tasks less monotonous and aiding R&D endeavors. For lawyers, the technology could enable them to push their already high billing rates to an astounding $10,000 per hour within a decade, according to one CEO. Sean Fitzpatrick, CEO of US data analytics company LexisNexis, made the prediction during a panel discussion at

The law firm Morgan & Morgan has rushed out a stern email to its attorneys after two of them were caught citing fake court cases invented by an AI model, Reuters reports. Sent earlier this month to all of its over 1,000 lawyers, the email warns at length about the tech's proclivity for hallucinating.
