Chris Williams, Above The Law; Florida Makes New AI Rule: Check Your Damned Work Or Else!
"No matter how much the marketing department leans in on an LLM program being ready to help you with your law practice, you’re still responsible for the work product because you’re the with the actual license to practice. Florida’s Supreme Court made some changes to remind lawyers that the responsibility falls on them, not the black box they’re prompting their legal questions into. ABA Journal has coverage:..
My soft spot for the rule update is for pro se litigants. Despite all of the equality under the law trimmings we pretend to believe, fighting in court is a monied person’s battlefield. Pro se litigants are often in that position because they cannot afford a lawyer due to limited resources. Getting help from Claude could be the closest thing they have to getting a legal opinion. If and when they screw up these rules, I hope that the court shows as much grace as it can toward them. Even the annoying sovereign citizen variety."
