Welcome
to
our
daily
feature, Quote
of
the
Day.
I
feel
terrible
for
those
lawyers
and
firms
that
have
found
themselves
on
the
wrong
side
of
this
issue
in
court—it
must
be
very
frustrating
and
concerning.
But
I’m
determined
that
we
put
in
place
every
measure
we
can
to
ensure
that
that
does
not
happen.
As
lawyers,
we’re
professionals.
It’s
our
responsibility
before
we
file
something
to
make
sure
that
it
says
what
we
cite
it
for,
that
it
exists.
That
was
true
before
AI
…
you
make
sure
it
was
accurately
cited.
I
don’t
think
anything
is
happening
that
hasn’t
happened
before.

Liz
Washko,
managing
shareholder
of
Ogletree
Deakins,
in
comments
given
to
the
Daily
Report,
concerning
AI
hallucinations
of
nonexistent
case
citations
sneaking
their
way
into
court
filings,
and
what
the
lawyers
at
her
firm
are
doing
to
make
sure
it
doesn’t
happen
to
them.
Washko
went
on
to
say
that
when
it
comes
to
AI,
her
firm
has
policies
to
make
sure
attorneys
“understand
what
they’re
expected
to
do
and
not
to
do,”
and
that
Ogletree
is
“taking
additional
steps
to
ensure
that
we’re
complying
with
those.”
