Glad to be quoted in this piece from Law360 on why we continue to see sanctions cases on an almost daily basis where attorneys are misrepresenting facts and law in their filings. Katherine Forrest from Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP and Jayne Reardon FISHER BROYLES LLP also shared their thoughts with Sarah Martinson on why we're likely to continue to see increasing penalties from judges. My understanding from meeting with leading AI scientists and even OpenAI's own research is that large language models will not ever be able to completely eliminate hallucinations, even as they improve, due to the nature of how these models work and how they're trained. But one practical safeguard that court rules committees could initiate today is to require hyperlinked filings, as many courts already do. Here's one of my quotes from the Law360 piece: "Schafer said that requiring hyperlinks to case law in briefs, which some courts already do, could curtail the problem. "It's the quickest, easiest way for the court to be able to see at a glance whether there is legal authority ... that backs up these sources," Schafer said. "It makes it 1,000 times easier for the reviewing court. But it's also a good practice, because in creating that hyperlinked version, it forces ... the lawyer to just double check and confront their own legal authorities and factual authorities." This is our mission at Clearbrief.ai - to make it faster for lawyers to satisfy their ethical duties to check work product by automatically displaying the source for every factual and legal cite from inside Word, and flagging every type of mistake before the filing. Since Clearbrief does that step, it only takes another click to create a hyperlinked version for filing so the judge can benefit from the linked sources, too. What other practical solutions are we missing to this problem? #ai #litigation #attorneydiscipline #law #courts

Congratulations to Joseph McMullen on being named California's Street Fighter of the Year by Consumer Attorneys of California! Joseph recently won a $1.5 million case against US Customs and Border Protection for two children wrongfully detained at the border, with the 9-year-old girl held for 34 hours, a victory that Business Insider featured as a powerful example of how AI can help lawyers fight harder for justice. As Joseph told Business Insider, his strategy was clear: "It was important to make it as easy as possible for [the judge] to get the information that I really wanted him to look at." Using Clearbrief, Joseph: • Hyperlinked to the cases he wanted the judge to consider • Created comprehensive timelines from thousands of pages of depositions • Presented his strongest arguments with maximum clarity This recognition is well-deserved. Joseph's work proves that the right legal AI tools don't replace lawyers, they empower them to deliver justice for the clients who need it most.
