Opposing counsel is also being called out by the judiciary for not recognizing that multiple citations counsel has put forth are not only not real, but actually counter to existing law.

It is way harder to review that sort of stuff then create it correctly by yourself.

If their they expect tp speed up and rely on reviewing, it is pretty much guaranteed some lies will end up in documents.

Is it really though? Now admittedly I’ve never worked with LexisNexis or Westlaw, but would it really be that difficult to have a tool just check if the citations actually exist?

You also have to read them and check whether they claim what the document claims. Just checking whether it goes somewhere is not enough.

This whole thing is requiring people to do exactly the thing they are bad at - controling output of something else while being passive and not loosing attention.

Westlaw is very expensive
