I have had several epiphanies of late, and they reverberate back to almost everything I have been doing to drive innovation in the legal industry over the past many years. At its core, what I’ve realized is that I’ve been missing something fundamental about measuring value. The legal industry has struggled to put its arms around value.

The New York Times’ Yiren Lu reports that A.I. has exploded in the eyes of company founders and venture capitalists alike. Not referring to legal tech specifically, Lu shares, “One appeal of generative A.I. is that it offers something for every would-be entrepreneur. For the technically minded, there is research to be done. For the business types, it’s easy to create applications on top of the OpenAI platforms.

If you don't know what you're doing, don't do it. It's okay to hire someone else who does know what they are doing, but don't waste your own time, your client's money, and potentially your career trying to do things you know nothing about.

You’ve probably heard about the case of ChatGPT providing a New York lawyer a number of cases the lawyer used in a brief, cases that no one could find, including the judge. That was because ChatGPT had invented everything. Lawyers doing dumb things is routine – as sad as it is to say. As Carolyn Elefant shared on LinkedIn, “Folks, this stuff happens all the time in law practice.

This week’s news of the lawyers whose reliance on ChatGPT led them to file fabricated cases in federal court only underscores the fact that it sometimes feels like the Wild West out there as generative AI gallops onto the legal landscape. For law firms — indeed, for any organization — that poses the challenge of how to safely explore the technology of large language models and enforce adherence with internal governance policies.

“It’s a game changer when the game has changed.” Richard Tromans. There has been a lot of speculation lately about the significant impact large language models (LLM) will have on the future of law practice. The theory goes that these models will tremendously reduce the time lawyers spend on many tasks. This reduction, in turn, will force lawyers and law firms to rethink the financial business models upon which the firms have primarily been built.
