Summary
AI hallucinations are no longer a novelty. Nearly 1,000 documented court decisions in the United States now involve AI-generated errors in legal filings, from fabricated citations to inaccurate procedural statements, and the number continues to grow. These incidents highlight not only the limitations of AI technology but also lawyers' longstanding responsibilities to verify information before relying on it. In this program, Professor John Lande, University of Missouri School of Law, will examine what AI hallucinations reveal about lawyers' duties of competence, diligence, and candor under the ABA Model Rules. The program will explore practical verification strategies and how thoughtful use of AI can reinforce habits of careful analysis and independent professional judgment under California's AI-related ethics proposals. Attendees will leave with a practical framework for integrating AI into their practices while maintaining responsibility for the accuracy of their work.
