    48th percentile is basically “average lawyer”.

    good thing all of law is just answering multiple-choice tests

    I don’t need a Supreme Court lawyer to argue my parking ticket.

    because judges looooove reading AI garbage and will definitely be willing to work with someone who is just repeatedly stuffing legal-sounding keywords into google docs and mashing “generate”

    And if you train the LLM with specific case law and use RAG can get much better.

    “guys our keyword-stuffing techniques aren’t working, we need a system to stuff EVEN MORE KEYWORDS into the keyword reassembler”

    In a worst case scenario if my local lawyer can use AI to generate a letter

    oh i would love to read those court documents

    and just quickly go through it to make sure it didn’t hallucinate

    wow, negative time saved! okay so your lawyer has to read and parse several paragraphs of statistical word salad, scrap 80+% of it because it’s legalese-flavored gobbledygook, and then try to write around and reformat the remaining 20% into something that’s syntactically and legally coherent – you know, the thing their profession is literally on the line for. good idea

    what promptfondlers continuously seem to fail to understand is that verification is the hard step. literally anyone on the planet can write a legal letter if they don’t care about its quality or the ramifications of sending it to a judge in their criminal defense trial. part of being a lawyer is being able to tell actual legal arguments from bullshit, and when you hire an attorney, that is the skill you are paying for. not how many paragraphs of bullshit they can spit out per minute

    they can process more clients, offer faster service and cheaper prices. Maybe not a revolution but still a win.

    “but the line is going up!! see?! sure we’re constantly losing cases and/or getting them thrown out because we’re spamming documents full of nonsense at the court clerk, but we’re doing it so quickly!!”
