“In India and in the USA, the use of AI search models by young lawyers has led to ‘fake judgments,’ being placed before courts,” said Justice Rajesh Bindal on Monday.

Speaking at an event organised by the All India Senior Lawyers Association, Justice Rajesh Bindal, a sitting Judge of the Supreme Court (SC) of India, said that Senior lawyers have a “responsibility to mentor” young Lawyers.

Cautioning young lawyers against over reliance on technology, Justice Bindal gave examples of incorrect information being cited by AI (Artificial Intelligence) search models.

“Sometimes lawyers search on AI using one or two keywords and they cite judgments… it may be incorrect, it may have been the minority opinion..but they don’t know that..there have been instances of the AI created it’s own fake judgments and opinions which get presented before Court,” said Justice Bindal.

“This is the danger mark of AI that it generates fake judgments and information. Senior lawyers need to groom the Young Bar about these dangers,” said the SC judge.

“It was said we judges do a lot of work, but the core behind it is the research done by the young lawyers and the arguments made by the Senior counsels,” said Bindal.

Justice Bindal was speaking at the felicitation ceremony organised by the All India Senior Advocates Association for the four new Judges elevated to the Supreme Court in the last month- Justice Joymalya Bagchi, Justice Nilay V Anjaria, Justice Vijay Boshnoi and Justice Atul S Chandurkar. Justices Bindal and PB Varale were the “senior” members of the Bench attending the event.

Senior Advocate and MP P Wilson, Senior Advocate Adish Aggarwala and Senior advocate Pitambari Acharya shared the dais with the judges.

Speaking at the event, Senior Advocate and Parliamentarian P Wilson told the gathering that he had introduced a Private Members Bill to increase the retirement age of Judges before the Parliament.
