AI Tools for Practicing Lawyers · 2026-03-25 · 25 min
SHOW NOTES Confessions of an AI Hallucinator: Why Verification Isn’t Enough In this Field Note episode, Ron shares a candid story from his early use of ChatGPT - including the moment he nearly relied on hallucinated legal citations in a client memo. This is not just a confession. It’s a practical warning for lawyers tempted to use consumer AI tools for legal research, drafting, and filings without understanding the risks. Ron explains why “just verify it” is not enough, why citation attestations may create a false sense of safety, and why lawyers need something more useful than blanket fear or hype. The answer: Yes, if. Using Ron’s green light / yellow light / red light framework, this episode explores where AI can genuinely help lawyers right now - and where it can absolutely get them into trouble. In the Practice Signal segment, Ron breaks down a lawyer’s question about getting back into FCRA work, and shows how AI could help rebuild a niche practice area from Flintstones → Simpsons → Jetsons.
