By role

Legal work and accountability

You are the one who has to be exactly right, because a case can turn on one line.

This is you if you work on cases, complaints or oversight, where a wrong summary is not an inconvenience but a harm.

What your week looks like

New text in the gazette, a hearing date that moved, a client who needs an answer today, and a filing that has to be exact. You keep files that identify people who came to you because they had nowhere else to go. The material on your desk is privileged, and the consequences of a leak land on your client, not on you.

Start with these three tasks

  1. Following legislation, courts and gazettes
  2. Making sense of large document sets
  3. Protecting sensitive information

Tools you can actually afford

Before price, ask where the file goes. For case material the only acceptable answer is nowhere, which means a tool that runs on your own machine or no tool at all.

Never do this

  • Never put a client’s name, a case file, or a filing into an online AI tool. Not to summarise it, not to translate it, not to “just check the wording”.
  • Never rely on an AI tool for a legal citation, an article number, or a deadline. It will produce one that looks correct. Confirm every one against the official text.
  • Never file or send anything a qualified person has not read line by line. A draft is a starting point, never a document.

Your first hour

  1. 15 minutes. Write the one-page rule your office has been missing: what may never be typed into any AI tool, and who to ask when someone is unsure.
  2. 20 minutes. Take a law or decision that is already published, and ask a tool to explain it in plain language for a client. Check every article number it names.
  3. 15 minutes. List everything it got wrong or invented, and show that list to the colleague who is about to start using these tools.
  4. 10 minutes. Pin the rule beside the printer. A policy nobody can see is the same as no policy.
