It was a bathroom break that inspired Bradley Neal , a 3L at The George Washington University Law School , to develop a product that uses generative AI to help law students better understand and brief cases. Returning to class after a visit to the bathroom, he had lost the thread of the case the professor was discussing. He had not actually read the case, only a summary, and when she asked a question about it, it involved something the summary had not covered. “I’m sitting there thin

For all the discussion of how generative AI will impact the legal profession, maybe one answer is that it will weed out the lazy and incompetent lawyers. By now, in the wake of several cases in which lawyers have found themselves in hot water by citing hallucinated cases generated by ChatGPT, most notoriously Mata v. Avianca , and in the wake of all the publicity those cases have received, you would think most lawyers would have gotten the message not to rely on ChatGPT for legal research, at le

The evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) and Large Language Models (LLMs) is poised to revolutionize the way legal advice is sought and provided to the public, online. Moving away from the traditional search engine model of ranking multiple sources based on SEO metrics like keywords and backlinks, AI is shifting towards offering a singular, authoritative answer to user queries.

After starting the week in New York at the glitzy celebration of big law tech that is Legalweek , and ending it in Charlotte, N.C., at the Legal Services Corporation’s Innovations in Technology Conference devoted to tech for access to justice, I was both struck and troubled by the chasm between these two worlds and what it means for serving the legal needs of all.
