Following my post yesterday about how AI will make for more effective legal blogging, I received a response over on LinkedIn that the use of AI in legal blogging would result in blogs without any substantive content. A good discussion ensued with my taking the position that the use of an AI-powered publishing assistant in blogging would result in more substantive legal blog content.

It was crazy enough to hear that lawyers were dumb enough to cite cases pulled from ChatGPT without ever reading them. Things only get wilder in the lawyers’ defense of sanctions. They blamed ChatGPT for tricking them into including fictitious legal research in a brief supporting a personal injury claim against Avianca Airlines. Tricked. Really? Not only did the cases not exist, but airlines referenced in the cases cited didn’t even exist.

Will AI be writing a lawyer’s blog posts? It’s a question I’ve been thinking about a lot over the last six months. I’ve always looked at blogging as a way for lawyers to connect with people through real and authentic writing. AI written posts would take that away. I see AI as a way for a lawyer to amplify their passion, expertise and commentary. AI serves as a blogging assistant.

Time and advice, Abraham Lincoln famously said, are a lawyer’s stock in trade. If so, then the two most important tools in a law practice may just be the calendar and the document management system. Through the calendar, the lawyer manages time, and through documents the lawyer dispenses and memorializes advice. Given this, the recently announced integration of rules-based legal calendaring software LawToolBox with document management system NetDocuments seems as natural a pairing as hot fudge a

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.
