Real Case, Real Consequence

AI Changed Legal Research.
Your Responsibility Did Not.

In Park v. Kim, an attorney relied on AI-generated case citations that could not be verified. The court identified the issue, and the attorney faced professional consequences. The lesson is not that AI is unusable — it is that unverified output should never reach a filing.

AI-Assisted Filing

Counsel prepared a brief using AI-generated citations.

Citation Could Not Be Verified

The cited authorities did not hold up on independent review.

Court Review

The issue was identified on the record by the court.

Professional Consequence

A verification step, documented, would have caught it first.

Why This Matters

Different Courts.
Same Expectation.

New York Litigation

AI-assisted preparation still requires responsible attorney review. New York's rules contemplate the use of AI-assisted tools in preparing court papers — with the signing attorney remaining accountable for what is submitted.

In practice: the attorney of record certifies that submitted content is accurate and supported by law.

Federal Litigation

Attorneys remain responsible for verifying authorities and supporting filings. Federal courts — including districts within the Second Circuit — expect accurate, verifiable citations regardless of the tools used to produce a draft.

In practice: the tool never carries the certification. The attorney does.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions?

Can't find what you need? Talk to our team.

Does NexLaw replace attorney review?
No. NexLaw is built on the opposite premise. The platform supports research and review, but final verification remains with the responsible attorney — the workflow exists to make that review consistent and documented, not to remove it.
Is AI required to use NexLaw?
No. Teams can use NexLaw for matter organization, document review, and timeline building without relying on AI-assisted drafting. Where AI is used, the same verification workflow applies.
How does NexLaw support verification?
Research output is returned with its underlying authorities attached, so sources can be opened and checked in context. Each review step — source review, attorney verification, sign-off — is captured as a record of how the work product was checked before filing.
Can NexLaw support state and federal litigation?
Yes. The workflow is jurisdiction-aware and used across state and federal matters, including districts within the Second Circuit. Court- and judge-specific requirements should always be confirmed against current rules.
