I am currently involved in a small claims civil action, as the pro se plaintiff. During my free time, I have attended a few unrelated sessions in my county courthouse... just to see how it's conducted; I also have two attorney brothers (one is an appellate judge) whom have expressed "ProllyInfamous is ranting crazytalk again about LLMs." It is absolutely incredible to me how little faith I've observed in these situations, e.g. an attorney, unrelated to me, who recently responded "I think you're putting a little bit too much faith in ChatGPT, bruh." "Everybody, particularly any/all attorneys/judges, should read the SCOTUS end of 2023 report" [0], was my response. For my own particular case, Perplexity.ai has been absolutely incredible in helping me to formulate my initial complaint, as well as respond and file motions. tl;dr: LLMs are massively going to help laypeople inundate court procedings.

It drives new, highly accessible tools that provide answers to basic questions, including where to find templates and court forms, how to fill them out, and where to bring them for presentation to the judge—all without leaving home. These tools have the welcome potential to smooth out any mismatch between available resources and urgent needs in our court system. >But any use of AI requires caution and humility.
