Common Questions

Can AI be trusted for legal research?
Yes, when it is built to cite the exact source and a person reviews the output. General chatbots can invent citations, so firms should use systems that ground every answer in the firm documents and case law, with audit trails and supervised review.
Will AI replace paralegals or associates?
No. It speeds up discovery, review, and first-pass research so legal staff spend more time on judgment and client work.
How do firms avoid fake citations?
Use tools that ground every answer in a known source and require a person to check citations before anything is filed or sent.
