AI vs. JD

About this episode

In this episode, the hosts discuss the influence of AI in legal practice and its implications.

In Episode 11 of Civil Banter, Stan and Hamish dive into the growing influence of AI in legal practice. They discuss recent cases where lawyers relied on AI-generated factums containing fake citations, the ethical implications, and new court rules requiring lawyers to certify their sources. While AI can help with drafting, it’s far from reliable for research and demands careful oversight. Our hosts also tackle two frequently asked questions: - Is what you tell your lawyer confidential? - Is there a maximum amount you can sue for?
