The good news is, in this day and age — there’s an app for that!

In what it appears would be a first for a federal circuit court, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is considering adoption of a rule change that would require lawyers and unrepresented litigants to provide a certification regarding their use of artificial intelligence in preparing court filings. Lawyers and other filers would be required to certify either that they had not used AI in drafting the document or that, if they did, “a human” had reviewed the document for accuracy.

Lukasz Ostrowski has a great piece over on Medium about the ethics of writing with AI.

For the lawyers who write their own blog posts, here’s some excellent points from Ostrowski – with my commentary – when it comes to using AI in writing.

Imagine you have a big, difficult puzzle to solve, but you’re not sure how to do it. Lawyers are like helpers who know a lot about a special set of rules called ‘laws’ that everyone must follow. They write blogs, which are like online diaries or storybooks, to share what they know about these rules.
