In this segment, the speaker explains why they chose to issue guidance rather than a formal standing order imposing AI‑related requirements on lawyers. They argue that standing orders could create a chilling effect, particularly for solo practitioners and small firms lacking the resources of larger firms, thereby widening the justice gap. The speaker emphasizes the importance of providing attorneys with a perspective on responsible AI use and offers practical advice on how to address AI hallucinations that may appear in others' briefs.

So these are standing orders that impose requirements on lawyers. Okay. I very deliberately did not do that though. I very deliberately did not issue a standing order. My view on standing orders is that it can have a little bit of a chilling effect, especially on the solos or small law firms who maybe don't have the same systems in place that the bigger firms do. And I worry that chilling effect widens that gap in terms of who's getting access, able to do more with less. And so it is posted instead as guidance, and what I do is provide attorneys with my perspective on how to think about AI, on how to think about it in terms of responsible use, on what to do if you find a hallucination in someone else's brief.
