GenAI hallucinations are a pervasive and pressing issue in legal practice, and, will not go away anytime soon. Even if you believe that your attorneys are not at risk of falling prey to a foolhardy reliance on AI-generated content, you must keep current on the best practices for identifying hallucinations in opposing sides’ briefs. Not all cite check tools in the major legal research platforms can clearly alert researchers to potential hallucinations. This program will address the limitations of the more popular tools, how the newer tools successfully catch hallucinations, and how we should be teaching law students and attorneys to critically review the research of others (and their own) as an essential skill in the practice of law.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify the trends in case law hallucinations and why these keep happening.
• Gain a firm grasp of the tools in the current legal research platforms that can accurately identify hallucinations, and those that fall short.
• Learn best practices for cite-checking in the era of hallucinations – an “old” task faced with new challenges.
