Humans in the Loop: The People Powering Trusted Legal AI
As the use of artificial intelligence permeates legal practice, a critical question confronts every legal professional who uses these tools: Can I trust this?
* “Judge worries jury wouldn’t understand Trump docs case.” Every accusation is a confession. [CNN]
* Ending Section 230 gaining support because a troubling number of lawmakers are stupid. [Law360]
* Jones Day brings case on behalf of D.C.-based US Chamber of Commerce (in Waco of course because… gratuitous forum shopping) to block new OSHA inspection rule that would allow some third parties to join inspections checking for safety violations. One option would be “don’t have workplace safety violations” but they’re taking the “seek nationwide injunction to keep safety violations hidden” option. [Texas Lawyer]
* Meanwhile, when it’s not convenient for their cronies, a Trump judge in Alabama is threatening to jail LGBTQ rights attorneys for “forum shopping” by trying to bring an Alabama case in Alabama… but just to avoid drawing him. [Alabama Political Reporter]
Context Windows In Legal AI And Why Content Still Determines Quality
Legal teams ask a practical question. If large language models are so capable, why does legal AI still depend on curated content, and why does surfacing that content matter so much?
* Republican move to block college athletes from becoming university employees… right as the NCAA votes to let schools pay athletes. [Bloomberg Law News]
* Golden Gate needs a receiver to save the law school… in case you’re looking for a new gig. [Reuters]
* Sullivan & Cromwell’s new hiring policy has a real McCarthyism feel. [Ex-Careerist]
