Non-accredited legal counsel varies from place to place. In the UK there are "Mackenzie friends" who can't speak but can advise in court. As for filings, paralegals don't tend to need qualifications either, though most solicitors they work under will require it.
In short, for the UK at least, no, nobody needs qualifications to do that kind of thing. Though it is clearly a good idea.
- jruohonen 3y agoThanks for the clarification. But regarding this case more specifically: it seems that the judge in question is interpreting this as a deliberate attempt to deceive a court; hence, the question about repercussions.
- hkt 3y agoGood question. In the UK (and probably most common law systems) I guess it'd be treated as any vexatious application would be. As far as the judge is concerned there's no legal ground for distinguishing between a regular bit of code and an LLM. It'll be the human who is prosecuted, if that's what you're wondering.
