Can You Trust AI in Court? Artificial intelligence is transforming the practice of law but it also comes with significant professional responsibilities.

Join us on this week’s episode of Divorce Explained as we discuss a recent Ontario case in which a lawyer was disciplined after AI-generated legal research included fictitious case law that was filed with the court, followed by a failure to be candid when the errors came to light.

We’ll discuss:

• Where AI fits into legal practice and where it doesn’t.

• Why lawyers can never delegate their professional judgment to technology.

• The duty to verify AI-generated legal research.

• The ethical obligation of candour to the court.

• What this decision means for family lawyers and the future use of AI in legal practice.

Whether you’re a lawyer, mediator, arbitrator, law student, or simply interested in how AI is changing the justice system, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
