AI Can Write a Legal Motion, But Can’t Guarantee a Father Gets to See His Child

Today, a father with a smartphone can ask an AI system to explain a child support order, translate legal language into plain English, organize a timeline, identify questions to ask an attorney, or produce something that looks remarkably like a legal motion. What once required hours of research, a knowledgeable advocate, or hundreds or thousands of dollars in legal assistance can sometimes appear on a screen in seconds.

That can sound like access to justice, but a fascinating new paper suggests we should be more careful about what we call access.
