Most of those people aren&#8217;t trying to game the system. They&#8217;re trying to handle a legal problem they can&#8217;t afford a lawyer for. And they&#8217;re using AI to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The trouble is that the courts have noticed. According to court-records researcher Damien Charlotin, three in five of the AI-hallucination cases tracked worldwide have come from self-represented litigants, not lawyers. Bloomberg Law has documented at least 24 pro se litigants hit with monetary sanctions for AI-related filings, most of them in the last six months. One Illinois litigant was sanctioned over $3,000 in April for citing nine cases that didn&#8217;t exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;ve decided AI is your best available option, here are twelve rules for using it without making your situation worse.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Treat AI as a starting point, not a finished answer.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini (and so on) can help you understand what a &#8220;demurrer&#8221; is or how a small claims case generally works. It cannot tell you whether your specific case has merit, what a judge in your county is likely to do, or which procedural moves matter most. Use it for vocabulary, orientation, maybe light advice. Stop there.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Verify every case citation. Every single one.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hallucinated case citations are the single most common AI failure in court filings. If the chatbot cites <em>Smith v. Jones<\/em> (2019), search the exact case name in<a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.com\/\"> Google Scholar Case Law<\/a> and on<a href=\"https:\/\/law.justia.com\/california\/\"> Justia<\/a>. If it doesn&#8217;t appear in either, it doesn&#8217;t exist. Do not assume the AI is right. Do not &#8220;trust but verify.&#8221; Verify, then trust.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Confirm the statute is current.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In states like California, codes change frequently. Most chatbots are months or years behind on legislative updates. Pull every code section the AI cited and check it against<a href=\"https:\/\/leginfo.legislature.ca.gov\/\"> leginfo.legislature.ca.gov<\/a>, the state&#8217;s official legislative repository. If the AI quotes language that isn&#8217;t in the current code, the AI is wrong, even if it&#8217;s confidently citing the right section number.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Don&#8217;t paste confidential information into consumer AI tools.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In a March 2026 ruling, a federal magistrate judge held that a pro se litigant (those who represent themselves) who used AI to prepare his case had to disclose which tool he used and barred the use of consumer ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini for confidential information going forward.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reasoning is that those tools train on user inputs and route data through third-party servers. If your legal problem involves sensitive medical, financial, or personal details, free chatbots are not where to type them.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Be honest with the court about AI use.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Federal judges in Georgia, Texas, and Northern California have issued standing orders requiring pro se parties to disclose any AI use and attest to the accuracy of their submissions under penalty of perjury. The trend is spreading to state courts. If you used AI, say so. Hiding it is a faster path to sanctions than the underlying mistakes.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Check the procedural rules separately.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>AI is bad at the small things that get cases thrown out: filing deadlines, page limits, formatting requirements, where to mail what, and which form goes with which motion. These are jurisdiction-specific and change often. Use the California Courts Self-Help Center at<a href=\"https:\/\/selfhelp.courts.ca.gov\/\"> selfhelp.courts.ca.gov<\/a> to confirm the procedural rules in your county before you file anything.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Talk to a court self-help center before you file.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Every California superior court has one. They cannot give legal advice, but they can confirm whether a document is procedurally correct, which is a different and very useful question. A 15-minute conversation at the self-help center can catch the kind of formatting mistake that gets a complaint kicked back without ever being read.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Don&#8217;t ask AI to predict outcomes or set damages.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Chatbots are pattern-matching tools, not valuation engines. Asking ChatGPT what your case is &#8220;worth,&#8221; what a fair settlement would be, or whether you&#8217;ll win is asking the wrong question of the wrong tool. AI doesn&#8217;t know your judge, your jury pool, your county&#8217;s verdict history, or the strength of the other side&#8217;s defense.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Document what you ask and what you get.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep the chat logs. If a judge later questions whether you relied on AI, you&#8217;ll want to be able to show exactly what you asked, what the AI returned, and what you did to verify it. This is also the single best way to learn from your own mistakes. AI failures repeat in patterns, and you&#8217;ll start to see them.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Don&#8217;t use AI to write personal statements or declarations under penalty of perjury.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Declarations are sworn statements of fact. If AI generates language that isn&#8217;t literally true about your experience, signing it under penalty of perjury is a problem. Write your own declaration. Use AI to help you organize the facts you already know, not to invent them.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11. California-specific: Check if you qualify for free counsel before going it alone.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>L.A. County&#8217;s<a href=\"https:\/\/dcba.lacounty.gov\/newsroom\/board-of-supervisors-unanimously-approves-tenant-right-to-counsel-ordinance\/\"> Tenant Right to Counsel<\/a> took effect in January 2025, and the City of L.A.&#8217;s ordinance took effect in April. If you&#8217;re facing eviction in L.A. and qualify based on income, you may be eligible for a free attorney. The Sargent Shriver Civil Counsel Act covers certain other civil matters in select California courts.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawhelpca.org\/\"> LawHelpCA<\/a> is the central directory for free and low-cost legal aid statewide. AI is the option of last resort. Check the other options first.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12. Know when to stop and call a lawyer.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are points in any legal matter where the cost of going it alone, even with AI, exceeds the cost of an hour of professional advice. Settlement offers, depositions, anything involving a counterclaim against you, anything in front of a judge who&#8217;s already warned you, anything with a deadline you might miss. Most California attorneys offer free initial consultations. A 30-minute call can be the difference between a manageable case and a sanctioned one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Should you get a lawyer?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The honest truth is that none of these rules is a substitute for legal representation. They&#8217;re a way to reduce harm if representation isn&#8217;t on the table.
