US 5th Circuit Court seeks regulation on lawyers’ AI use in legal filings

Coin Telegraph: “The suggested regulation would apply to attorneys and litigants without legal representation appearing before the court, obliging them to confirm that filings produced with the help of AI were assessed for precision. A federal appeals court in New Orleans is considering a proposal that would mandate lawyers to confirm whether they utilized artificial intelligence (AI) programs to draft briefs, affirming either independent human review of AI-generated text accuracy or no AI reliance in their court submissions. In a notice issued on Nov. 21, the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals revealed what seems to be the inaugural proposed rule among the nation’s 13 federal appeals courts, focusing on governing the utilization of generative AI tools, including OpenAI’s ChatGPT, by lawyers presenting before the court…”

Historically, acquiring case law data has been a significant challenge, acting as a barrier to newcomers in the legal research market. Established players are often protective of their data. For instance, in an antitrust counterclaim, ROSS Intelligence accused Thomson Reuters of withholding their public law collection, claiming they had to instead resort to purchasing cases piecemeal from sources like Casemaker and Fastcase. Other companies have taken more extreme measures. For example, Ravel Law partnered with the Harvard Law Library to scan every single opinion in their print reporter collections. There’s also speculation that major vendors might even license some of their materials directly to platforms like Google Scholar, albeit with stringent conditions.

Despite the historic challenges, several new products have recently emerged offering advanced legal research capabilities:

Generative AI in the Enterprise

What’s the reality? We wanted to find out what people are actually doing, so in September we surveyed O’Reilly’s users. Our survey focused on how companies use generative AI, what bottlenecks they see in adoption, and what skills gaps need to be addressed.

AI adoption is in the process of becoming widespread, but it’s still not universal. Two-thirds of our survey’s respondents (67%) report that their companies are using generative AI. 41% say their companies have been using AI for a year or more; 26% say their companies have been using AI for less than a year. And only 33% report that their companies aren’t using AI at all.
