Could chatbots open up access to justice? NLJ columnist and former Justice director Roger Smith puts ChatGPT to the test in this week’s issue. 

Smith strikes up conversation with the chatbot and seeks some advice on a range of legal issues. He writes: ‘ChatGPT is fast and scarily broad in its coverage.’

While the artificial intelligence tool definitely has a chatty side, would it impress those who work in legal tech? It’s possible. Could it pass the Solicitors Qualifying Exam? More importantly, did it pass Roger Smith’s test?
