AI & Law Quiz

Answers and explanations appear as you take the quiz.

1. Why should a lawyer define the task and jurisdiction before using AI?
   • Research, record summaries, and client advice have different risk profiles
   • A model automatically knows which court applies
   • The same answer works in every jurisdiction
   • Jurisdiction matters only after filing
2. A draft cites a case with a convincing title and quotation. What should the lawyer verify?
   • Only the font used in the brief
   • The case, passage, date, status, and jurisdiction in an official source
   • Whether the model can repeat the citation
   • Whether another paragraph uses the same quote
3. What is a prudent way to protect confidential matter information?
   • Upload every client file for context
   • Assume a general privacy statement covers each matter
   • Use the least data and access needed after checking processing and retention
   • Copy the document into a public chat then delete it
4. Which professional duties does ABA Formal Opinion 512 emphasize for generative AI use?
   • Only billing discounts
   • Publicity, hiring, and marketing
   • Courtroom technology and jury instructions
   • Competence, confidentiality, communication, supervision, candor, and reasonable fees
5. Who remains responsible for legal filings, advice, and communications?
   • A human attorney
   • The AI vendor
   • The court database
   • The model that drafted the text
6. An AI draft gives a procedural deadline but omits a qualification that could change it. What should the lawyer do?
   • Use the date because it appears in a complete sentence
   • Check the applicable procedure, date, and omitted qualification before relying on it
   • Ask the model to sound more confident without checking the rule
   • Treat the deadline as verified if another paragraph repeats it
7. Why should an automated legal-research workflow preserve links and passages?
   • To avoid checking the date of a case
   • To replace jurisdiction checks
   • So a lawyer can inspect the basis of a conclusion
   • To let the model file documents automatically
8. A plausible cited case cannot be found in an authoritative legal source. What does the worked example recommend?
   • Keep the quotation but remove the case name
   • Use the citation if the argument sounds persuasive
   • Treat the missing case as binding until someone objects
   • Remove the citation and investigate the proposition independently
