Legal
AI in law, sharp and level-headed: what it brings to your work, and where your professional rules draw a line.
For lawyers, in-house counsel, civil-law notaries and legal support staff. Language and precision are your trade, so we keep it level-headed: which AI developments genuinely affect your work, and how to use it without risking your confidentiality, liability or professional rules. No hype, and to be honest: this newsletter earns you no continuing-education credits, just staying up to date in plain English.

- The rules on AI in the profession: the guidance from the Dutch Bar (NOvA), the AI Act, and the privacy law (GDPR).
- Risks that hit lawyers in particular: made-up case law and wrong ECLI numbers, deepfake evidence, and the accidental disclosure of confidential information.
- Concrete do's and don'ts from Dutch practice, including the difference between attorneys and other legal professionals.
Let AI draft it, but check every source yourself
AI sometimes invents sources that do not exist. For you that is no small detail: in 2025 the Rotterdam District Court found that a lawyer's court filing cited rulings that were wrong, and some ECLI numbers did not even exist. Feel free to let AI draft the text, but check every reference and every quote against the source yourself. You stay responsible in the end: a made-up source carries your signature, not the AI's.
