Artificial intelligence is transforming legal practice while introducing significant risks for lawyers, particularly when AI-generated work is accepted without adequate scrutiny or verification. AI’s risks are especially consequential for appellate lawyers, whose work depends on precise research, careful analysis, and professional judgment. Harnessing AI’s advantages while maintaining the verification and professional responsibility that effective advocacy requires is therefore essential.
In an article published by the American Bar Association’s (ABA) Litigation Section, Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani Partner Stewart Milch examines three practical applications of AI in appellate practice: developing research strategies, reviewing briefs for weaknesses and inconsistencies, and preparing for oral argument. The article also explores the need to verify AI-generated content and the ethical obligations surrounding competence, confidentiality, candor to the tribunal, and disclosure of AI use.
Milch has more than three decades of experience in appellate practice and a proven track record of success before the highest courts in the nation. He brings a wealth of knowledge, strategic insight, and persuasive advocacy to every case, ensuring client interests are fiercely represented at trial and on appeal.
