So entirely done with law firms that use GenAi to do their work and thinking or them.
When an attorney submits a brief including GenAI mistakes that lawyer shouldn’t just be sanctioned– they should be disbarred.
I’m serious. If you are lazy/dumb enough to use GenAI to do what your client is PAYING YOU TO DO then you have completely failed in your respknsibilties as a lawyer as far as I am concerned. You are not worthy to be an attorney.
So let’s add Andrew Dietderich, co-head of Sullivan & Cromwell’s restructuring division to that list.
Per CNN this clown had to submit a letter to the court identifying 40 SEPARATE ERRORS in a submission.
40.
Guys.
40!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How do you submit a brief with 40 mistakes in it???????
GenAI is a failure engine. It does NOTHING for lawyers. If you are using it–again– you deserve to be disbarred.
“We deeply regret that this has occurred” Dietderich wrote.
You should deeply regret your trash law firm decided to deploy untested garbage AI tools.
I read the full letter– you can head it here Pathetic Apology Letter— and it is a weak ass apology.
In the letter he basically claims the firm has high stndards and training for GenAi usage–two “modules” people have to complete– so they should be forgiven.
Garbage.
Truly ELITE law firms like Troutman Amin, LLP COMPLETELY BAN the use of GenAi because it is truly useless in connection with the practice of law.
A complete abdication of the responsibilities of attorneys.
And just to show how insanely widepsread this poison is, the Biedterich’s errors were caught by opposing counsel Boies Schiller Flexner.
Guess what?
Boies Schiller Flexner was just ITSELF SANCTIONED in February for using GenAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It takes a fraud to catch a fraud I guess.
Catch a clue– FORBID ANY LAW FIRM YOU WORK WITH FROM USING GEN AI OR HIRE TROUTMAN AMIN, LLP LIKE SMART COMPANIES ACROSS THE NATION ARE DOING DAILY!!!
