Tim Kowal & Jeff Lewis

Please AI responsibly: Attorneys at a major law firm are making use of ChatGPT. That's not a bad thing normally, but filling in legal cites is not what it's for. The unchecked ChatGPT cases were fake at a rate of 8 out of 9 total cases in a single brief. On this recent legal news episode Jeff and Tim cover:

  • How to AI responsibly (and not get sanctioned).
  • How to challenge arbitration responsibly (and not get sanctioned).
  • How to anti-SLAPP responsibly (and not get sanctioned).
  • Recent court stats and rule updates.
