Ross LeBlanc Apologizes for AI Errors in Legal Filings, Cites Eve ...
The blame game over AI hallucinations in court filings has started By Melia Russell You're currently following this author! Want to unfollow? Unsubscribe via the link in your email. Getty Images 2026-04-30T19:02:06.538Z A personal injury lawyer apologized for filing court documents with fabricated quotations. The lawyer told the judge that he had begun using software from a venture-backed startup called Eve. The episode highlights a growing risk for the startups selling artificial intelligence to lawyers.

Last week, Sullivan & Cromwell, one of the country's oldest and most elite law firms, apologized to a federal judge over a similar slip-up.What's new here is the blame game. When an attorney names the tools involved, the companies behind the software are put in the spotlight and could face reputational repercussions.Legal software companies like Harvey, Legora, and Eve have raised billions of dollars on the promise that they can make lawyers faster — and offer firms a level of reliability that general-purpose tools c...
