Shitlaw bros, are you seeing any effects of AI?

Date: March 8th, 2026 8:32 PM Author: Buy your next house instantly with Zellow! Virtually all of our clients now run their questions through ChatGPT before making a first call to a lawyer. This leads some people to be quite well-informed. But others have crazily unrealistic expectations because AI gives them the most extreme best case scenario and says it's likely.
Also, several clients have started sending in these long AI-generated emails in response to invoices. Basically asking for lengthy explanations of every little thing. Some of these are honest questions, but a lot of this is a delay tactic to avoid paying their bills.
Overall, it hasn't been the disaster that some feared. Most people realize that they can't represent themselves in court and still need a lawyer. AI may be telling them about rights and claims that they didn't even know that they had. Other people try to represent themselves and it turns into an unbelievable clusterfuck, and then they have to pay us to fix it. But who knows how it might change. |

Date: March 10th, 2026 7:38 AM Author: the walter white of this generation (walt jr.) I’ve seen minimal effects so far. A couple pro se filings I suspect are AI. Never been easier to be a lazy sovereign citizen.
And a shit lawyer I like a lot got busted for having one hallucinated cite in a 7-page brief (which was overall a C- product and thus the best thing he’s ever written) and boomer judges are on the warpath against him. |

Date: March 10th, 2026 8:32 AM Author: ...,,..;...,,..,..,...,,,;.., explain busted. sanctions? did he lie about it like some of these idiot cases, or did he admit fault? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5843170&forum_id=2Reputation#49731384) |

Date: March 10th, 2026 12:03 PM Author: the walter white of this generation (walt jr.) Immediately and ostentatiously admitted fault. Wouldn't have even been caught otherwise, since OC was just like "as for the Plaintiff's Smith v. Jones cite, we can't find a case with that name or anything close to it." And he went and withdrew the whole brief and apologized; didn't acknowledge AI use, but the blood was in the water.

did he get sanctions? |

Date: March 11th, 2026 12:13 AM Author: the walter white of this generation (walt jr.) No, but something way worse for him economically. I can't go into details, but the judge had him removed from a panel that receives a moderate to high volume of (for him) good-paying hourly-rate cases. It took a vote of the entire bench, with the judge got because likely all these old fogeys are threatened by AI (to be fair to them, it's not just the hallucination; they probably don't like the fact that it has the potential to produce a large amount of new *good* briefing for them to rule on).

Date: March 10th, 2026 8:29 AM Author: some on social media I’m receiving a lot more lengthy emails with minimal spelling errors. Obviously ai. Some are reasonable questions, some are utterly stupid. I have a paralegal or assistant draft a response then I make sure I send a bill shortly thereafter so they see that I’m billing them for the response. That tends to keep a lid on things.

Date: March 10th, 2026 9:46 AM Author: Muscadine wine Not at all. Some clients are using it for Emails and affidavits, but that's about it - the tone is distinct, it's easy to tell if something is written by AI.
I'm sure there's a way, but I don't see how AI would be able to eat up shitlaw jobs. Shitlaw jobs are almost entirely just dealing with people on a personal level, whether it's clients, opposing attorneys, judges, court staff, insurance adjusters, etc. |

Date: March 11th, 2026 12:32 AM Author: scholarship Lots of different effects. Clients are definitely using it before talking to me. I had a consultation with a guy in a nursing home today and he had obviously used ChatGPT or something and seemed to anticipate everything I told him like I was just confirming things he already knew and he’s like 90 how does he even use computer.
Paralegals seem straight up obsolete now except for maybe managing your appointments or something like a personal assistant. If I were to hire someone for that kind of role it would be an unemployed law grad who could show up to status calendars and stuff for me.
Lots of complete idiots writing briefs with it. Lawyers who I know were dumb as shit a year or two ago suddenly putting out thorough filings full of em dashes. Will eventually get burned by a hallucination or just a stupid argument. I never let AI directly touch anything that gets filed without confirming every cite and I like to just do my research first so I know it and then I give it to AI to help and I can spot its mistakes.
Pro se people. I spend a lot of time at the local courthouse just hanging out and watching trials and you wouldn’t believe the pro se insanity. Like filing literally everything possible and doing appeals and everything for years on complete nonsense. There’s this one dude who they just let him do whatever because he’s funny as hell and the judge will “sanction” him by making him write like a 30 page brief on some esoteric issue because they know he’ll run it through chat gpt and show up with some unhinged argument for everyone to laugh at. |
