There are A LOT of VERY bad lawyers out there.
I have a friend who used to be a federal judge for immigration, and he said that immigration lawyers are especially the worst, because families need their services desperately, and these lawyers will take their money and spend NO time on their cases. They show up to court and are figuring stuff out real time.
He tore one lawyer a new asshole for doing exactly this for his client and ordered them to come back better prepared.
So the idea that some of them will use ChatGPT to do their work doesn't surprise me at all.
- ianhawes 3y agoI work in the immigration space. Part of the problem is that because immigration is technically federal but operates almost entirely in administrative venues (i.e. USCIS and EOIR), immigration lawyers only need to be barred in their home state and do not generally need admission to a relevant federal court bar or appear pro hac vice to represent clients in immigration court or even to make an appearance in filings.
- hgsgm 3y agoHow is that relevant? Incompetent / criminal lawyers are almost never disbarred in any field.
