How courts are coping with a flood of AI-generated lawsuits
TL;DR
Judges like Colorado magistrate Maritza Braswell increasingly face stacks of filings drafted with AI tools by people without a lawyer. Many can't afford one or have cases too small to interest one. The catch: AI-written briefs often contain fabricated rulings and false citations, adding strain to already overloaded courts.
Nauti's Take
Upside: AI lowers the barrier for people who can't afford a lawyer, giving them access to the courts at all. The catch: many AI-drafted filings are riddled with fabricated rulings and false citations, piling more work onto already overloaded judges.
Anyone using AI for legal text should verify every source, or the advantage quickly flips into a liability.
