When people tell me “use API” I look at them like they’re crazy. It’s like running a bar tab all night. Like yeah I’ll have fun but I ain’t gonna like the bill when it comes.
An attorney filed a brief in the Delaware Court of Chancery with AI-hallucinated legal propositions. Leiske v. Kidd, C.A. No. 2025-0426-CDW (LWW) (Del. Ch., July 1, 2026). When the Vice Chancellor flagged the problem, the attorney maintained the citations were accurate.
The court ordered both the attorney and the firm to show cause why sanctions shouldn't be imposed under Rule 11(c).
The filing with hallucinated citations was a verification failure. Insisting on their accuracy when the court is already asking questions was a judgment failure. One would hope both are fixable.
Legora is worth $5.6 billion. Harvey is worth $11 billion. Between them, eight acquisitions in 2026 alone.
What exactly are they building for the solo practitioner billing $350 an hour?
The venture capital flows to enterprise legal departments and AmLaw 200 firms. The product roadmaps follow the money. The solo market gets whatever downstream feature lands in the subscription tier two years later.
The tools exist while the investment to put them within reach of a solo practice doesn't. That's a capital allocation problem, and it's getting worse.
When AI cuts your research time from six hours to forty-five minutes, everyone agrees you can't bill for six. The harder question is whether billing for forty-five minutes of work that produces the same deliverable is actually reasonable, or whether the client should expect a price reduction.
Different firms have different answers. Some bill for the time. Some bill for the value. Some haven't thought about it at all, which is its own problem under Rule 1.5.
The ethics rule is clear: bill reasonably. The application of that rule to AI-compressed work is anything but.
Before you recommend a coverage position to the carrier, run the policy language against the complaint and the known facts of the claim.
What it catches in about thirty minutes: coverage triggers the adjuster's summary missed. Exclusion provisions the pleading doesn't actually implicate. Bad faith exposure signals buried in the claim chronology that nobody highlighted at intake.
The coverage letter you write after that analysis is calibrated to what the policy says about what the complaint alleges.
Before you cross-examine a fact witness, run their deposition transcript against their interrogatory answers and the documents they authenticated, if any. Fifteen minutes. The inconsistencies that take days of manual cross-referencing to find are right there.
