2

We're Hugh and Christine, the Minds

Behind Judgy, the revolutionary app

3

that empowers you to judge the judges.

4

It's pastime for judicial accountability

and transparency within the courts.

5

Prepare for sharp insights, candid

critiques, and unshakable honesty from

6

two lawyers determined to save the system.

7

We need some justice.

8

Justice, my fine justice.

9

And I wanna ring, be in public.

10

I wanna ring, be in public crowd.

11

Yeah.

12

Christine: We're back.

13

We're talking about AI

and an update on the app.

14

I saw it in all of its glory for

the first time, really today,

15

and I'm so beyond excited.

16

It is gonna be so functional.

17

Obviously I am not the expert

when it comes to this coding.

18

Hugh: I love, it's gonna be so functional.

19

Christine: It's so

20

Hugh: functional.

21

That's that's funny.

22

No, it's ugly as homemade in right

now, but we're working on all of

23

the functions where making sure the

back end and everything is working.

24

Everything is, , it's,

yeah, it's fantastic.,

25

I'm very happy with where it is.

26

And then we make it pretty and go

through the testing phase, which

27

hopefully will start, , early next month.

28

We'll have.

29

The testing going and be ready to launch.

30

Christine: Yeah.

31

I mean, come hell or high water, we're

gonna get this to you by Christmas.

32

It'll be the best Christmas present.

33

But I do wanna go ahead

and make this announcement.

34

I hope that's okay.

35

So we have really sold this app so

far as to be something that will

36

be reviewed by attorneys, which is

verified litigants and Court watchers.

37

But Hugh has added a community

component of this that I think is

38

gonna be a fucking game changer.

39

Hugh: Yeah, I mean, I, I hope, I

hope that it allows, it becomes

40

a tool for, . Discussion.

41

I know, I think, you know, in, in

the last CO or one of the last couple

42

episodes we talked about, or maybe we

didn't mention in the podcast, so one of

43

our guests, , some people came together

as a result of an episode and reviews

44

that were left online and sort of.

45

Figured out that they had seen similar

things in their cases and it resulted in a

46

really great outcome for multiple people.

47

And it just got me thinking about

having a cohesive community where,

48

you know, these discussions , can

be moved to, I think will.

49

We will, , promote that and help

that happen in a lot more cases.

50

Christine: Yeah.

51

And we want people 'cause

family court's so isolating.

52

And there are patterns and there

are certainly patterns that I see

53

with different judges or different

GS or FOCs or custodial evaluators.

54

And we wanna give it to

you all to rate the judges.

55

We want to be wrong

about some of the judges.

56

We want accountability, transparency, we

wanna hear the good, the bad, the ugly.

57

But I think giving you a community, and I

would just urge everyone I know no one's

58

gonna listen to me, but the family court

reform movement to just stop trying to

59

come, you know, at everyone within the

movement instead of going big picture

60

to change the system for the better.

61

Hugh: Yeah.

62

And for, and for instance, so I

mean, if, if we're able , to, , tag

63

names people that are involved in

the case, and then people can, you

64

know, if they have a case and they can

run through our community features.

65

Run those names through and see

other people's experience with them.

66

I mean, that could be life and

death , in some of these cases.

67

Mm-hmm.

68

To realize that this is, this

is why this is happening.

69

Mm-hmm.

70

Here's how they've dealt with it.

71

I mean, , it can make the difference

in winning and losing , a custody case.

72

Christine: Yeah.

73

And for everyone listening

too, like, we really get this.

74

Same players all the time.

75

Yeah.

76

Like there are a couple judges that we

very rarely, if ever get complaints about.

77

I mean, and one or two that

doesn't, that's not necessarily

78

representative of the system.

79

There are the same GALs FOCs,

the same custodial evaluators.

80

Yep.

81

And the same judges that we get over and

over and over with the same fact pattern.

82

Hugh: Oh, sure.

83

No, and, and what we've realized,

, since we be began doing this and

84

talking to people throughout the

country is it's similar everywhere.

85

Mm-hmm.

86

That it's not, you know, that so

far we've not talked to anyone

87

where there's just this huge pool of

FOCs or GALs that work in the case.

88

There's, there's a handful.

89

Mm-hmm.

90

They're relied on all the time.

91

They have too many cases and you

hear the exact same complaints

92

and, and problems with, with the

system that you, that we saw here.

93

Christine: Yep.

94

And custodial evaluators, and

I'll go out, this is my opinion in

95

particular, but custodial evaluators,

and we'll go down this rabbit hole.

96

I don't believe in 'em.

97

And I think there is like some

inherent, , evil or inherent.

98

Badness that comes with those.

99

Like, I, I can't, what we're seeing

nationwide and the problems that we've

100

seen with custodial evaluators and like

the evaluator outta Colorado that faked

101

her credentials and got sentenced to four

years in prison, or the case, , where

102

somebody was, you know, charged with

something and then completely acquitted

103

and there's a defamation lawsuit.

104

You have a lot of these custodial

evaluators that are just kind of, , doing

105

some nefarious stuff again, in my opinion.

106

Hugh: Yeah.

107

, And.

108

Through either the podcast

or other, . Reviews online or

109

just other channels online?

110

Some of these people, you know, once

they found out that this, , a specific

111

evaluator got in trouble and had to refund

money in a case, they realized, oh, that's

112

the person in my case, that was the same

thing that happened in mine, and now

113

they've been able to go back in , and get

money back , and change things in their

114

cases because they've heard about it.

115

Yeah.

116

That's why we want to be, we want

to be the hub of the community so

117

that we can help people do that.

118

And people aren't just having to

search far and wide across Reddit

119

and across, you know, online.

120

Mm-hmm.

121

We, we want those communications

occurring in one place so that people

122

can find that information that could

be really critical in their cases.

123

Christine: And I literally cannot

wait for you all to see it.

124

, Speaking of apps, there was an

NBC thing that I sent Hugh last

125

night talking about a woman.

126

, That utilized AI to win her appeal.

127

So we're gonna dedicate this episode.

128

This will be short and sweet.

129

Listen to it on your way to work

all about how chat GBT and AI are

130

the future of the legal profession.

131

Hugh: Yeah, I mean there's, I agree.

132

Now then this particular case,

I think she was, , evicted.

133

So this was a very basic here in

Kentucky to be a district court matter.

134

Really one criteria, one set of criteria.

135

Very simple.

136

But, she had been evicted and

felt that there had been an

137

error in reaching that, decision.

138

She didn't have money for an

attorney, , especially for something

139

that simple and started looking, , for

answers through Chet GPT and got the

140

answers and, and started asking it

about, you know, what to do about it.

141

And it guided her through

writing an appeal that she was

142

successful at writing and that.

143

That doesn't surprise me because

you know, the, the output is

144

only as good as the input.

145

But if you and I can see someone who

comes in and doesn't know much about AI

146

and doesn't know how to manipulate it and

prompt it correctly, and just treating

147

it as very conversational and maybe.

148

Maybe giving it a little

bit too much information.

149

Mm-hmm.

150

Might have stumbled onto

writing a really good prompt.

151

Yeah.

152

And it giving the right the results.

153

'cause it certainly is

capable of doing anything and

154

everything , on a case like that.

155

Christine: Yeah.

156

I mean, you know, AI makes me nervous

and there are circumstances where

157

you can get to circuit court for

evictions and I'm gonna be honest.

158

Are there.

159

Yeah.

160

, I'm not familiar with that law.

161

Me either, but you're going to have Ms.

162

Me Oliver on, , and she is the one that

was incarcerated by Tracy Davis after

163

there were allegations that she had

recorded during a court proceeding.

164

, And she also currently has litigation

talking about the school to prison

165

pipeline, , against President Donald J.

166

Trump.

167

I can't wait to have her on.

168

, And I think she probably utilizes ai.

169

She's a pro se advocate, litigant.

170

, That's done a lot of stuff, but I

do think as far as AI helping pro se

171

people, it's gonna be a game changer.

172

Hugh: Well, I mean, it

helps in so many other ways.

173

So, I mean, , I know that the

controversy over, oh, it could

174

never do what attorneys do.

175

, If you mean like, here's

the problem, write my brief.

176

No, it's not going to.

177

But if it is.

178

, The legal research and cross-checking

things and looking at transcripts and

179

comparing those to the findings, there

is nothing better than AI for doing that.

180

And there are programs that attorneys

have used for a long time that are very

181

expensive, where you'll load mm-hmm.

182

Two PDFs in, and it'll give you a list

of all of the differences in all of that.

183

It may be like hundreds and hundreds of

dollars a month to subscribe to that.

184

, These, uh, you know, the, a free version

of Chet PT will do a better job of that.

185

Yep.

186

And we'll give you a, you can

customize the details all you want.

187

Now, are you gonna go in and cite it?

188

No, absolutely not.

189

But you're going to potentially save

yourself six hours of reading through

190

hundreds of deposition transcripts and

comparing them against court orders Yeah.

191

And things like that.

192

And it will give you the starting point.

193

And then once you have the

starting point, it, I mean, it's.

194

The, it's so contrary to

the hourly billing model.

195

Yep.

196

That I, you know, definitely

concerns about it hallucinating

197

and it making stuff up.

198

Christine: That's a word, right?

199

That's like a term of art.

200

Hugh: Well, hallucination is just

where, , AI will invent a fact.

201

It won't find citations for it.

202

So you ask it to LOL, I'm

gonna start using that

203

Christine: Ir in real life.

204

I'm,

205

Hugh: I just hallucinated.

206

Sorry.

207

It's like the AI equivalent of

a brain fart itself for the, it

208

will write it convincingly as if

there , is, , authority for it.

209

Mm-hmm.

210

And apparently, you know, according to

this article, , sorry, the, the news

211

story, hundreds of citations that were

just completely made up, if already made

212

it into court cases, I would wager a

bet that it's thousands and thousands.

213

Yeah.

214

If you look at the

actual state court level.

215

'cause you know, people are using this.

216

Christine: Oh yeah.

217

, Hugh: And.

218

There are easy ways to get around that.

219

I mean, you can simply ask AI to

tell you the citation and pull copies

220

of any citations that users, there

are 20 different ways that you can

221

make sure that that doesn't happen.

222

But yeah, there def definitely

problems that you run into.

223

But I think that most of the pushback

against this is going to be from those

224

who stand to lose money from efficiency.

225

And I, and I think there, there are

lots, there's , a lot of technology.

226

That attorneys are going to

push back on because they can't

227

bill as much for each task.

228

Oh yeah.

229

And that's Well, and I

wanna asks a real shame

230

Christine: tell attorneys right

now, , and I'm gonna do, we're gonna

231

do a little experiment in real time,

but I guarantee you chat, GBT is

232

never gonna wave a dare versus berton.

233

So I don't wanna hear from y'all.

234

Oh, I can do better.

235

I can do better, you know what I mean?

236

Hugh: Or sign an agreed order

that gives a third party judicial.

237

Powers.

238

Christine: Oh my gosh.

239

That is case that we case

240

Hugh: just, just reviewed.

241

Yeah, I mean, it's definitely not

going to replace every single thing

242

that attorneys can do, but there are

certain things that it can already do

243

much better than a lot of attorneys.

244

And , I know that'll make people

angry saying it, but it really does.

245

Christine: You should see this answer.

246

I mean, it is so good.

247

Hugh: Oh.

248

No, what, what's the experiment?

249

Christine: I said, should

an attorney waive a Adair v.

250

Emberton in a Kentucky, , custody case?

251

And it gave me a full breakdown.

252

It's got due process in bold.

253

Okay.

254

Yeah.

255

Yeah.

256

And everyone listening,

this is Hughes case.

257

It talks about 4 0 3, 300 proper

use of friend of the court, and

258

Hugh: you didn't feed it the case.

259

Christine: I fed it.

260

Should you waive Adair vs.

261

Embertson,

262

Hugh: but you didn't give it

a copy of the case to read.

263

And this, this is what a free ver is.

264

This the free account?

265

Free ChatGPT?

266

This is, this is Google Gemini.

267

Yeah.

268

That's free.

269

Oh, this is just Gemini.

270

Yeah.

271

The free built into a browser.

272

Gemini Answer.

273

Yes.

274

Researched, read the case, understood it.

275

Recognized the due process issues.

276

And gave an intelligent answer.

277

Christine: I'm gonna screenshot this,

we should put this up with Yeah, I,

278

Hugh: I agree.

279

But

280

Christine: in summary, a air versus berton

is a tool for an attorney to ensure due

281

process and proper use of FOC evidence.

282

Waiving, it could mean relinquishing the

right to make those procedural objections.

283

, They should have said that at the.

284

Freaking CLE, the

Louisville Bar Association.

285

Y'all did?

286

Yeah.

287

Don't wave Adair v.

288

Emberton, in my opinion, not legal advice.

289

Hugh: Yeah.

290

And you know, one of the things,

you know, computers are good

291

at black and white type things.

292

Yeah.

293

And, and I think a lot of the criticism

of AI working in professional capacities

294

, is the nuance and the, and the, and

I think, I think those concerns are

295

unfounded, but when there are there.

296

There's a lot that we talk about here,

like due process and constitutional

297

issues that really are black and white.

298

Mm-hmm.

299

And this, you know, your little experiment

there really shows when looking at things

300

on, on a bigger scale, black and right,

white constitutional rights issues.

301

Where it really has its strengths.

302

Christine: Yeah.

303

Hugh: Is outshining a lot of what

we've seen actually in the courts.

304

Christine: And I'm screenshotting this

and I did not have a plan to do this.

305

One thing that I will say though,

and I think there's a really, really

306

strong argument that it's not just a

procedural due Right, , due process.

307

Right.

308

That it's substantive.

309

. Hugh: Yeah.

310

No, I think that's interesting.

311

It probably pulled that language

from the, court of Appeals decision.

312

Christine: It probably did,

but I think as far as like

313

preservation and things like that.

314

Yeah.

315

Like I would argue that it's substantive

and I can't ever say that word.

316

Right.

317

\ And there's so much, I mean, you're gonna

be like, I wanna see, 'cause he has like

318

an, you have like a real ai don't you?

319

Hugh: Oh, I, yeah.

320

I have a lot of custom things that I've

trained for various tasks that I use.

321

All day, every day.

322

Christine: I want you to, I'm gonna,

I screenshot all this, but I think

323

you should ask the same prompt to

yours and see what the difference is.

324

Okay?

325

And I think we should put this up for

everybody 'cause it is interesting

326

to think about, you know, , AI being

utilized along with an attorney.

327

And if you have a good attorney, an

attorney, a good attorney wants you to

328

do your research, wants you to question,

then want you to have these conversations.

329

Hugh: I mean, anything that you

can do to help your attorney

330

Christine: mm-hmm.

331

Hugh: I if your attorney is upset that

you're doing things that further the case,

332

then you know, there's a conversation that

you need to have with your attorney there.

333

But, , no matter how deep they are

and passionate they are about a case.

334

They have a lot of other things

going on, and attorneys are

335

just always extremely busy.

336

So, you know, if you can just take away.

337

Some of the need to educate

you about these things.

338

If you can go in and do research

about, you know, what is, what's

339

the difference between procedural

and substantive due process?

340

Yeah.

341

And go through and read some of that and

not have to pay your hourly rate for an

342

attorney to walk you through that stuff.

343

The, I promise you, the attorney

would love that if you came in

344

with an understanding of it.

345

I loved talking to clients who really

were up to speed and understood things,

346

and you didn't have to sit and think

about how you explained everything.

347

You could just.

348

Say what you felt about the case

and like, . You know, talk about

349

the legal strategy knowing that they

probably understood more about it.

350

Christine: Yeah.

351

'cause we love the law and I think

that's the unique thing that you get in

352

family court that you don't get in all

other areas and it's not a good thing.

353

But so much is of the

emotion is talked about.

354

And I don't like talking about

that like at all with people.

355

Like, I don't like with clients

like having to do the management.

356

Of the emotional aspects of it now.

357

I mean, I do, and I don't wanna

say like, but I like talking about

358

the law, making legal arguments.

359

When I first started in family court,

I was like, if I'm on your case for

360

more than a year, you need to fire me

and find somebody else to get it done.

361

Now obviously things changed

and the delays and everything.

362

Yeah, were exacerbated now.

363

It's

364

Hugh: almost a guarantee.

365

If your case is litigated, it's

gonna be a hundred percent.

366

Yeah.

367

Christine: Oh, it's almost

guaranteed to get a divorce.

368

I mean, to get into mediation if you had.

369

Any sort of disagreement.

370

Yeah.

371

Not just the whole case.

372

Yeah.

373

Yeah.

374

It's disgusting, quite frankly.

375

Hugh: No, it's, it's, it's, yeah.

376

It's bad.

377

Christine: Yeah.

378

, I, I

379

Hugh: always, when I first met with

people, I talked about getting a

380

counselor or someone they could

talk with, you know, and just Oh.

381

Saying, so.

382

Okay.

383

It's not necessarily saying you're

depressed or you're anxious or anything,

384

but there are certain things that they

can help with and just talk about that

385

you're wanting to talk to me about and.

386

Happy to talk to you about it,

but I'm a lot more expensive.

387

Mm-hmm.

388

I'm extremely jaded 'cause this

is all that I do and, um, I

389

Christine: got no problems.

390

Hugh: Yeah.

391

Well, you know, yes.

392

That's going on in the back of my head.

393

Although, honestly, the more people

talk to me about their cases, the more.

394

Yeah, , I think I, I oftentimes

my wife get in an, and I get in an

395

argument I annoy her because it just

doesn't seem like as big a deal.

396

Yeah.

397

'cause of when I was practicing,

I just saw 50 times worse,

398

you know, all day, every day.

399

But, but I mean, it's.

400

That's not why you hired me.

401

I always explain, that's

not why you hired me.

402

You hired me for this

legal side of things.

403

Not to get dug in on the emotional

side, you want an objective person

404

that can look at this and say,

why this is a strong argument.

405

Mm-hmm.

406

Why we should actually focus

on this versus that and not

407

get down, you know, and, and.

408

You know, mired in, in all of the

emotional stuff, and there are people

409

that are far better for it so that

you can be more focused when we sit

410

down and talk about legal strategy.

411

And I would urge you to get involved

and, you know, pick your own.

412

Yep.

413

I don't care.

414

Here's some people that , I had a list

of people that, based on my client's

415

personality, I thought would be a good

match, but I didn't care who they went to.

416

Christine: Well, just to be clear

too, because this is where sometimes

417

people that haven't been involved

in the system and the road to hell,,

418

is paved with good intentions.

419

But I am all for therapy.

420

I am all for learning about yourself.

421

But be very careful with

the court appointed.

422

Hugh: Oh yeah.

423

Christine: That's a difference.

424

Like when you come to an attorney

and they recommend that you go

425

see a therapist that's very d.

426

Then them recommending we get a

court order to have a therapist

427

appointed, that's gonna be a

witness potentially in a case.

428

Hugh: Well, I left out an awful lot

about what I told people, 'cause I

429

don't want to give legal advice to our

audience, but there were a lot of pick

430

someone, but here the parameters, because

this person's records will likely be

431

subpoenaed and you know, there, there

are ways to deal with it where you're

432

not causing yourself more of a problem.

433

But that was.

434

Yep.

435

That's, that's more attorney

client stuff that I Yeah, but I'm,

436

Christine: I'm nervous too.

437

I mean, you also could ask ai,

like what are the pros and cons of

438

having a court appointed GALA court

appointed therapist, the children

439

having court appointed therapist.

440

Yeah.

441

Custodial evaluator.

442

And I think you're gonna see a lot

of pushback with the AI answers.

443

Where it seems to me nowadays that I

talked to three people, I wanna three, was

444

it two or three that were saying in the

second conversation they had with their

445

attorney, they were recommending an FOC.

446

That's bizarre to me.

447

Hugh: Yeah.

448

I mean, it's hard to criticize

without knowing the circumstances

449

of each one, but I do think that

that's, that's a high number.

450

Mm-hmm.

451

I mean, I've always said there were

circumstances where same attorney,

452

I saw the fact pattern that I know

how an FOC is going to handle it and

453

that it's gonna go my client's way.

454

That I've, I've had this same case

in front of this same judge and I

455

know what works in front of that

judge, then I would recommend that.

456

But there was just limited circumstances

and that was just not because I thought

457

it was a great process in general.

458

Yeah.

459

Or should be part of it.

460

But that was the be gonna be

the best outcome for my clients.

461

So there were times I did it, but there

are just people that are bought into it.

462

Like, oh, there are kids involved.

463

Boom.

464

We got, we have professionals

for that that are great at

465

kid stuff, but they're not.

466

They're not.

467

They're not.

468

It's everyone offloading the

kid stuff 'cause they don't

469

wanna deal with the hard stuff.

470

Yep.

471

And appointing people who

are no better qualified.

472

Yep.

473

And are way overworked and don't have

time, you know, the time to put into

474

it and it's just too much delegation

475

Christine: And also.

476

It's good, you know, it takes a village

type thing, but like if you have

477

ai, like a chat GBT, along with your

attorney, let's say your attorney tells

478

you something, you ask chat GBT, and

you get a different answer and you talk

479

to your attorney and your attorney's

like, oh, this is why it's nuanced here.

480

Like that's something

that you know absolutely.

481

You, it could absolutely happen,

but I just think it would be very

482

bizarre for an attorney to get

super, super, super defensive.

483

Now, if it was second guessing absolutely

everything that you were doing or that

484

feeling like, Hey, you know what I mean?

485

I could see where that would be a problem.

486

Hugh: Well, the easier way to do it

before you present it to the attorney.

487

I mean, and anything that you do on ai,

whether it's legal or anything else.

488

One of the simplest tricks is

to just ask it its sources and

489

have it summarize the sources.

490

Tell you if you got your, if you formed

your opinion based on other sources.

491

Yeah.

492

What are those sources?

493

And gimme a summary of the

political leanings or Yeah.

494

Of the types of things that

those sources report on.

495

And you can get an idea of whether, , the

information you're getting from that.

496

, Ai, LLM,

497

. Christine: What's LLM mean?

498

, Hugh: Large language model.

499

, Sorry.

500

That's, , chat.

501

GPT, Claude.

502

Those are large language model.

503

, They're sort of chatbots that you

can access a large language model.

504

So does it means

505

Christine: something different legally?

506

You can get an LLM.

507

Hugh: Oh, yeah.

508

No, no, that's true.

509

I, yeah, so

510

if you're, if you're getting a strong

answer or something and you ask its

511

sources, you may find that all of

the information that's out there.

512

Is from a small handful of people who

all feel the same way about something.

513

And that's, that's how search engines,

that's how, I mean, people talk about

514

AI being manipulated in that way.

515

Yeah.

516

But search engines are the same way.

517

Christine: Wikipedia.

518

Hugh: Yeah.

519

Or Google.

520

If you Google something, it's going to

give you answers based on what's there.

521

It's not going to, you know,

before it wouldn't make things up.

522

For the most part, AI

is not making stuff up.

523

It's just hall hallucinating,

a different way, hallucinating.

524

It's just looking at the stuff

that's out there the same

525

way a search engine does it.

526

It's just thinking about it

and communicating it back to

527

you a little bit differently.

528

I mean, it's just a glorified

version of a search engine.

529

Yeah.

530

When you are using it in the way that

we're talking about, there are things

531

that it can do that's, you know, very

different than a search engine, but

532

when you're searching things, just

know that what it's feeding you may be.

533

All that's out there.

534

Christine: Yeah.

535

Hugh: But it may not be unbiased, it

may not be looking at a broad source

536

of things , and just asking it where it

got its information could be, , and if

537

you go into your attorney and say, well,

Tet EPT tells me we should be doing it

538

this way, but it did get, it, got that

opinion from only one or two places.

539

Christine: Yeah.

540

I mean, that's interesting.

541

I, you know, I'm really

scared of AI in a lot of ways.

542

, That being said, you know, I

utilize it and I do think it's

543

gonna be a tool in the toolbox that

attorneys are gonna have to use.

544

You're gonna see attorneys really push

back and you should be weary of that.

545

, I do think, you know, it, , it's

gonna change the profession.

546

Um, and I think billable hours

for family court need to go.

547

Hugh: Yeah.

548

, I agree with that.

549

Having, you know, having made

my career on billable hours.

550

But you, you're kind of forced to.

551

Yeah.

552

You don't, I mean, we've,

we've heard stories.

553

, We've sat down and talked to people

that have tried to buck the hourly.

554

Billing stuff and even I work for

555

Christine: a firm.

556

Yeah, yeah.

557

Hugh: And bar associations go after 'em.

558

It's, I mean, it's ingrained in the

system that this is how you have

559

to do it and it's, and it's one

of the big reasons that people are

560

going to fight against deficiency.

561

But I mean,

562

Christine: I think it's too late.

563

Like I think they fought it too much.

564

It's coming.

565

People are gonna use that for sure.

566

You know?

567

Hugh: But let, let's think about this.

568

Even if you're not using it

for legal research or you're

569

not exposing it to any client

information, and there's this whole.

570

There's a way that you can do it.

571

'cause hospitals are using AI for

everything and they're protected by

572

more stringent rules than attorneys.

573

There are ways to do it.

574

Now, you could screw it up really

badly if you don't know those

575

ways and you're not trained in it.

576

But when you're talking about just.

577

Inbox management, phone call

management, client, you know,

578

getting things out and like just

having routines that cut down on.

579

People are gonna see a 0.3

580

from a paralegal to send an email.

581

Yeah.

582

Oh, it can be automated.

583

Save people a ton of money.

584

And then you, you, you don't get into the

AI screwing things up in the legal case,

585

there's so many ways that it can be used

that aren't, no one could even question

586

the value of that they're gonna fight back

against because it costs the firms money.

587

Christine: Yeah.

588

And they're gonna fight back in

a way that's gonna ultimately

589

hurt the legal profession.

590

And I'm much more interested in how it can

help the litigant and the pro se person.

591

Sure.

592

And you wanna find an

attorney that can do both.

593

And we will wrap up and I will.

594

Say, , I lost, I'm adamant in my position,

but I did lose, I've lost the poll.

595

I've lost one of my

longtime followers and fans.

596

April.

597

I'm just kidding.

598

Thank you for your feedback.

599

, Hugh: Thank you April.

600

Thank you.

601

People prefer my new favorite person

602

Christine: Zoom court.

603

And I mean, I am saying it's the

beginning of the end for me, but

604

I, you know, it won't be the first

time I've been wrong, but yes.

605

Overwhelming and we want.

606

Guys, get up in the comments.

607

Just be respectful.

608

Like, just, you know,

but get in the comments.

609

Tell us what you think, tell us

what you want us to fight about.

610

, So first and only time Berro has won.

611

Cheers.

612

Yeah, cheers on our

little sparkling waters.

613

Cheer all.

614

We'll be back and we're gonna talk

about just some wild case that happened

615

in Kentucky where I think attorneys,

GAls, everybody made a mistake probably.

616

Hugh: Yep.

617

I, we probably aren't

gonna fight much on that

618

Christine: LOL.

619

All right, bye y'all.

620

Oh Judgey judge y.com

621

Hugh: Peace.
