Legal AI has moved from experimentation to everyday use faster than most firms expected. As AI becomes embedded in core legal workflows, the question is no longer whether to use it, but how to use it responsibly. In this new landscape, transparency, traceability, and human oversight are no longer optional, they are essential for defensible legal practice.

Courts are drawing a hard line: if your AI can’t show its sources, it won’t survive judicial scrutiny. Recent sanctions and new standing orders across federal courts make one thing clear “black-box AI” is now a liability. Lawyers must be able to trace every factual claim back to the page and line where it came from, or risk having filings challenged, excluded, or even sanctioned. This is the new defensibility standard: AI that cites its sources, preserves audit trails, and keeps a transparent record of how every conclusion was reached. Forward-thinking litigation teams are already shifting to source-linked, litigation-grade AI because they know what’s coming next.

Over the past year, OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, and DeepSeek all drew the same line: their AI platforms cannot be used for legal advice without professional oversight. These restrictions expose four critical gaps that make general-purpose AI unsuitable for high-stakes legal work. Discover what changed, why it matters for medical-legal professionals, and what truly litigation-grade AI requires.

A 20-year litigation research veteran put VerixAi™ to the test with 35 medical records. His verdict: "I didn't think we'd see a medlegal AI this advanced and intuitive for a long time."

Michael Graham supports attorneys and expert witnesses in medical malpractice, personal injury, and wrongful death litigation. When he tested VerixAi™, he wasn't looking for faster chronologies—he wanted AI that could think alongside him.

He discovered a platform that understood clinical relationships, flagged documentation gaps, and translated medical codes with complete source verification. "It didn't feel like automation. It felt like a conversation with the record itself."

Most medical litigation teams work in fragments—discovery here, medical review there, deposition prep somewhere else, trial prep starting over. Each transition loses context. Integrated litigation workflow changes this by connecting every stage so information accumulates instead of fragmenting.

Expert witnesses face an information crisis: thousands of pages of medical records, multiple depositions, and complex imaging studies—all requiring review under tight deadlines. Learn how AI transforms case review from days to hours while maintaining the rigorous verification standards that withstand cross-examination.

Deposition prep shouldn't mean spending weeks hunting for contradictions in thousands of pages. Learn how AI is transforming the process—and the critical guardrails you need to use it effectively.

Rule 18.3 treats litigation AI like generative AI, exposing attorney work product and expert analysis to discovery. Here's what personal injury and medical malpractice professionals need instead.
