On 2022 November 30th, Open AI presented ChatGPT, which made splendor among the public for its ability to respond to anything, that too in the most human way possible and less AI-way.
But if you are worried that Artificial Intelligence will take over your job as a lawyer, then no, they won’t (as of yet, maybe).
ChatGPT for Legal Services
The bot can come up with a whole menu for a month, helps you in your research, or make an excuse for you to leave a party early.
Chat GPT can do wonders, and while it’s capable of doing almost everything, it is also skilled to mimic Lawyers’ work.
Yup, you heard it right. It might sound like this statement contradicts my previous one: ”Artificial Intelligence will not take over your job,” but let me explain it first.
The Chatbot can help you with legal advice only. They can be good advocates on paper but not in the supreme court. So, if you cannot seek real-time professional legal advice for your social security payment issues, ChatGPT could lend help.
Now here’s the thing, the creators of ChatGPT have already stated not to rely entirely on the advice of ChatGPT, as it often provides non-sensical or false information. Believe us; you don’t want to add fuel to the fire because of some Chatbot errors.
However, ChatGPT will likely improve efficiency and accuracy, all with the benefit of reducing costs.
In this article, we will investigate more into ChatGPT for Law Firms.
- Research: Research can take up most of the time in legal work. It can take up to countless hours to examine facts and details. Lawyers study case laws, rules, regulations, and other legal information necessary to support a case. ChatGPT could complete this process in a short amount of time; by providing a vast amount of relevant information to them.
All you need is to input your query in the Chatbot and let the system do its work. It will search for relevant information and other legal documents to yield a concise and accurate answer.
- Contract review: As critical as contracts are in legal services, reviewing them is equally crucial. If you let ChatGPT review contracts for you, it can save you a lot of time and will detect any issues or areas of concern in it.
With ChatGPT, you can say bye to human error. It could review a contract for you and highlight any vague or imprecise statements or law-violating clauses that could be a problem in the future.
- Writing: Contracts, pleading, and brief; these three are vital aspects of a legal profession and are time-consuming, too. Skip this process and input a set of facts in the Chatbot. And within no time, it will return with a draft of a legal brief based on those facts. How easy is this?
While ChatGPT can assist you in drafting a legal document, you can focus on other aspects of your lawsuit.
- Customer Service: Tired of addressing every client’s inquiry and concern? ChatGPT is here to save you! Use a ChatGPT-powered Chatbot for your website. It can provide customer service, answer FAQs, and lead clients to the appropriate legal service based on their needs and information.
It will help prospects determine if their legal issues fall under your or your law firm’s expertise and if they are in the right place.
- Analytics: As a legal professional, you have to analyze a set of data to predict the future of a lawsuit. ChatGPT is a machine learning technology that can help you identify patterns in a case by analyzing data from past suits.
Lawyers working on a lawsuit can use it to analyze previous claims and predict outcomes so legal professionals can make a more informed decision.
- Multilingual support: Legal services is a globally spread business. You can be dealing with a client from another resident that requires legal documents in multiple languages, too. A ChatGPT-powered translation tool can be convenient here.
You can now communicate with a foreign client, provide legal advice, and answer questions in their native language. ChatGPT can bridge this language barrier allowing more efficient services.
