Used well, AI can turn a multi-hour evidence review into minutes. Used carelessly, it can put unverified answers into your work product. The difference is a handful of habits.
1. Upload only what you are entitled to use
Keep it to the materials you have a right to work with.
2. Verify every answer through its source
Click through to the page or the timestamp before you rely on anything.
3. Keep confidential data in secured tools
Pasting client files into a public chatbot is a confidentiality problem.
4. Know what the tool does and does not do
An evidence-analysis tool reads your file; it does not research the law.
5. Use it for leverage on volume, not judgment
The decisions about what matters remain yours.
6. Disclose where required
Know your court’s rules on AI use and follow them.
AI can surface it — you confirm it through the link.
