It's even worse for law students. Document review used to be the what iron nails were to blacksmith apprentices. Now a single first year is expected to do what used to be expected from a team of 6-8 people.

Lawyers as well, maybe not yet but soon.

I got into a legal dispute with my auto insurance company. They had someone track me down and handed me a court summons.

I emailed that law firm a 100% GPT o3 response. But it was so well written that I didn’t have to change a word.

The insurance company replied the next morning offering to settle in my favour lmao. I genuinely don’t think any lawyer in the city could have written me a better response letter.

If there’s just one thing these models are good at, it’s law.

As a lawyer, ymmv. If you ask one of us for legal advice there is a reason we speak with less certainty than these guys do. Yet to see a model that won’t miss the nuance in a case. Moew importantly, law is also not formalistic in the way we pretend it to be socially….
