Generated Legal Texts

Generative AI’s sudden growth has transformed the production of data, images, videos, and especially text. And with that impact on text comes impact on law. From contracts to judicial opinions, from legislation to litigation, nearly every aspect of the law operates through text. Yet while there is much legal scholarship on AI, little work focuses on legal texts as the relevant unit of analysis.

We introduce the concept of “generated legal texts,” arguing that how these texts are deployed across different legal institutions creates common patterns and concerns—making them worthy of study in their own right. Through a broad empirical survey, we document the breadth and speed of generated legal texts’ integration into our institutions, revealing how they are already reshaping the legal landscape.

Next, we classify the types of these new generated legal texts, the forms of human co-production of these documents, the texts’ audiences, and the spectrum of regulations concerning generated legal texts. Generated legal texts raise concerns such as bias and inaccuracy that are common with AI. But they also raise distinctive new issues, like “floodgates” problems and concerns about sincerity. We identify and elaborate on those concerns, and then discuss the emerging putative solution of “ratification,” in which an individual or body assumes responsibility for the text by “ratifying” it. By drawing on embedded legal norms, ratification has many strengths as a tool for shaping the responsible use of generated legal texts. But it also has limitations, reflecting the need to pay close attention to generated legal texts going forward.
