In what it appears would be a first for a federal circuit court, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is considering adoption of a rule change that would require lawyers and unrepresented litigants to provide a certification regarding their use of artificial intelligence in preparing court filings. Lawyers and other filers would be required to certify either that they had not used AI in drafting the document or that, if they did, “a human” had reviewed the document for accuracy.

Lukasz Ostrowski has a great piece over on Medium about the ethics of writing with AI. I’m in the law, where I’d guess the majority of blogging and digital publishing lawyers have thrown ethics out the window already by paying others to write content for them and publishing the content in their own name. For the lawyers who write their own blog posts, here’s some excellent points from Ostrowski – with my commentary – when it comes to using AI in writing.

Once upon a time, in a magical city called San Francisco, three former lawyers came together to develop an innovative legal research platform, as an alternative to traditional legal research services such as Thomson Reuters Westlaw and LexisNexis. They called their new company Casetext. Their original idea was to create a free, comprehensive library of primary legal research materials, supplemented by crowdsourced annotations and edits contributed by users, like a Wikipedia for law.

Ran across an article by the founder of Social Media World, Michael Steltzer , about content marketing in the age of AI. I liked the the concept of ‘created’ versus ‘constructed’ writing, a distinction traced back to Charles Dickens. The difference offers some insight for legal bloggers on the application of AI in their blogging. ‘Created’ content refers to ideas or expressions born from one’s own passion, experience, personal insight and care.

As Thomson Reuters itself says, “Previous editions have frequently been a case of ‘the more things change, the more things stay the same.'” But this year, in the jus

While federal law governs people and businesses across the U.S., each state has developed its own set of laws in many areas. These range from employment and family law to personal injury and criminal law. State laws may resemble one another in some situations, but they may vary greatly in others. Taking these variations into account, the team at Justia has compiled 50-state surveys on legal issues that often arise for ordinary people or that might be of general interest.
