Judges and lawyers in the UK have now been offered guidance to use AI chatbots in legal proceedings, Digit News of Scotland reported yesterday Judges will be allowed to use ChatGPT to help write rulings despite warnings that AI can invent cases that never happened – a lower risk when lawyers are crazy enough to have AI write memorandums and authority from scratch, as opposed where cases are cited and decisions are written from the record.

Studio, Inc. , 2023 U.S. App. LEXIS 32063 (2d Cir. 2023), I already had my red grading pen out. The low grade the court earned is a consequence of it losing many points by misstating the law, misapplying the law, and especially skipping over the part where it was supposed to share its analysis and instead just stated its conclusion.

The information you need is publicly available but accessing it is often tedious & inefficient, requiring you to wade through dozens of PTO websites or for-free tools to gather what you need. Plus, it frequently occurs late in the game, leaving professionals under pressure, sifting through chaotic 100-page PDFs, and frustrated with poorly formatted information & patent numbers.
