What AI Doesn't Tell You: Hidden Gaps in AI-Assisted Legal Research

sierra.vanallen@steno.com (Sierra Van Allen) — Thu, 15 Oct 2026 19:48:31 GMT

AI hallucinations get the headlines-fabricated citations, invented cases, sanctions from the bench. But the more pervasive risk is one that leaves no evidence: incomplete retrieval. When AI-assisted research omits a relevant ruling, a recent regulatory change, or an entire line of authority from a neighboring jurisdiction, the output looks clean. Nothing flags a second look. This course moves past the hallucination conversation to examine the structural constraints that make AI legal research inherently incomplete, where those gaps are most likely to surface, and how attorneys can build verification practices that satisfy their duty of competence-even when AI gives no warning that something is missing.

A deposition transcript is a data input. The quality of that data determines what AI can do with it downstream. This course walks litigators through a three-phase framework for integrating AI into the deposition process: before the deposition (witness research and question building), during the deposition (record hygiene practices that make transcripts AI-ready), and after the deposition (AI-assisted review, contradiction analysis, and trial prep).

Throughout, the course addresses the professional responsibility obligations that arise at each phase-including competence, confidentiality obligations when inputting case data into AI tools, supervision of staff AI use, and verification requirements for AI-assisted work product. Attorneys will leave with a practical, phase-by-phase action plan they can implement immediately.
