Legal AI works where outputs are checkable and fails where they are citable. Peer-reviewed testing found leading AI legal research tools hallucinate between 17% and 33% of the time[^arxiv-2405-20362], so the deciding factor in every legal AI deployment — research, contracts, intake, billing — is the verification workflow you wrap around the model, not the model itself.
AI earns its keep in litigation-adjacent work in five places: e-discovery document review, privilege screening, legal hold scoping, M&A due diligence, and patent search. The deciding factor is never raw model accuracy — it is whether the workflow around the model survives challenge from a court or opposing counsel. This guide maps each workload to the rules that govern it and the validation discipline that makes AI use defensible.
