Fellow Lawyers and also the public. You need to be wary of AI. I use it to amass data or lead me in a direction, but WILL NOT use it for legal research or brief writing. Call me old school, but I worked my way through law school, as a clerk. Including a research assistant (basically a brief writer with supervision My case on appeal to the Michigan Supreme Court was the crim law written essay question for my winter 1990 Bar Exam) for the State Appellate Defender Office. I do my own research with use of electronic tools to get me to the case law. I still cut and paste the binding holding of the case research to create briefs. Proud to say some of my briefs in the trial court became the basis of appellate law. As a long-time member of the Criminal Defense Attorneys of Michigan I strongly encourage my fellow defenders to be leery of AI writing. You are bound to get it wrong, and you will find yourself before the Attorney Grievance Commission
