ChatGPT for Lawyers

The legal industry has always been cautious about adopting new technology, and for good reason. When lives, livelihoods, and liability are at stake, “close enough” doesn’t cut it. Over the past year, many lawyers have experimented with ChatGPT for drafting, summarizing, or researching. It’s fast, accessible, and, at first glance, seems like a dream assistant. But under the surface lies a serious problem: ChatGPT wasn’t built for law.

The Problem With Using ChatGPT for Legal Work

  1. No Legal Context Awareness
    ChatGPT doesn’t understand jurisdiction, precedent, or statutory hierarchy. It can’t distinguish between Australian consumer law and California contract law unless explicitly told — and even then, it often hallucinates citations or merges systems inaccurately.

  2. Confidentiality Risks
    Client data is the backbone of every matter. Using ChatGPT directly means sharing sensitive information with a public model that isn’t designed to meet legal confidentiality or privilege requirements. That’s a line no lawyer should cross.

  3. No Audit Trails or Version Control
    ChatGPT gives you an answer — and that’s it. There’s no document history, no auditability, no way to verify how a clause was generated or whether it aligns with professional obligations under the Legal Profession Uniform Law or GDPR/PDPA standards.

  4. Generic Reasoning, Not Legal Reasoning
    ChatGPT excels at language, not law. It doesn’t reason through sections, authorities, or procedural rules. It produces polished text, but not professional work product — and that distinction matters when your signature is on the line.
