FAQs

Can AI cite case law reliably?

Not without verification. Every citation must be checked in a primary source — courts have sanctioned filings containing AI-fabricated cases.

Is client data safe?

Only in tools with contractual no-training and confidentiality terms approved by your firm. Consumer chatbots are not appropriate for privileged material.
