AI Legal Skills Module
Hi — I'm Natasha, your AI Legal Guide for this module.
Your day moves fast. A client is waiting. An AI tool is right there on your screen.
The question isn't whether AI is useful — it is. The question is: which tasks it helps, and which it harms.
Work through 3 real legal situations. Make your call. See the right answer — and why it matters professionally.
● Use AI● Partial AI● Avoid AI
The situation
The 90-page NDA
A client needs you. The clock is running.
Client emails a 90-page NDA from a tech company
2-hour deadline — 3 other matters already open
Firm's AI contract review tool is available and ready
What's the right approach?
90-page NDA · 2 hours · AI tool ready · 3 matters open
The 90-page NDA · Your result
AI & Contract Review
Listen, then continue to Scenario 2
AI for first-pass review — speed, flagging, summarising
Cannot take professional responsibility or know client risk appetite
Risk: fabricated clause references · jurisdiction gaps
Sending unreviewed AI to client = duty of competence breach
💡 AI helps you work faster. But you sign off — not the tool.
The situation
The precedent search
Your junior wants a shortcut. Should you allow it?
Court submission — commercial dispute, hearing next week
Need Indian law citations on limitation periods
Junior asks: "Can I use ChatGPT to build the case list?"
What do you tell your junior?

AI Hallucination — Stanford 2025
Why verification is not optional
43%ChatGPT — fabricated legal citations
33%Westlaw AI — still 1 in 3 queries
17%Lexis Protégé — lowest tested
Mata v. Avianca — fabricated cases to federal court → sanctions, censure
1,300+ similar cases on record globally, growing daily
💡 AI can suggest. Verify every citation before it goes near a judge.
The situation
The distressed client
The most human scenario in this module.
Client believes termination is retaliation for a formal complaint
Settlement agreement to sign — today. Rights could be extinguished.
She is distressed. The clock is ticking. Should you use AI?
How do you advise her?
Distressed client · Retaliation claim · Settlement to sign today
The distressed client · Your result
Three reasons — all at once
Every one applies simultaneously here
Confidentiality
Judgment
Human care
Client data into AI = privilege breach risk. Consent required first.
Weighing retaliation + settlement is legal analysis — AI cannot do it
She needs a lawyer who is present — not a chatbot's output
💡 Sensitive, urgent client advice is what lawyers are for.
S&A Bespoke · JGLS
AI doesn't carry a practising certificate.
You do.
You do.
Verify before you rely — every time.
5 questions before using AI
🔒 Confidentiality
Client names or privileged facts in input?
Is the tool self-learning from your data?
Has your client consented?
🧠 Hallucination
Does output cite cases or statutes?
Can every citation be verified?
Is this going to a court?
⚖️ Judgment
Weighing facts — not just summarising?
Is there an emotional dimension?
Would a wrong answer damage legal rights?
📍 Jurisdiction
Tool trained on the right jurisdiction?
Has law changed since training cutoff?
India-specific law? Check coverage.
Task decision table
| Task | Verdict | Key watch |

| Drafting court submissions | Partial AI | AI for structure only |
| Sensitive / urgent client advice | Avoid AI | Confidentiality + judgment |
| Inputting client data into public AI | Avoid AI | Privilege breach risk |
