The lawyers use case, in detail.
Legal use of AI detection is rising as courts and regulators address AI-generated filings. Several US courts now require disclosure of AI-assisted content in briefs, and at least one judge has sanctioned lawyers for AI-fabricated case citations. AI Checker is used by law firms in three ways: vetting incoming work product from associates and external counsel, due diligence on contract drafts in M&A workflows, and authenticity verification on deposition transcripts and statements. The sentence-level breakdown is especially valuable in legal contexts because partial AI use is common (associates drafting standard sections with AI assistance is increasingly accepted), but fully AI-generated argumentation is generally not. Our enterprise tier includes audit logging for compliance documentation, plus an on-premise deployment option for firms with strict data handling requirements.
The lawyers workflow, in depth.
The legal profession's relationship with AI detection has tightened considerably since the first widely-publicized sanction of attorneys for filing briefs with AI-fabricated case citations (Mata v. Avianca, 2023). By 2026, more than thirty US federal judges have standing orders requiring disclosure of AI-assisted briefs, several state bars have issued ethics opinions on AI use in legal practice, and at least one major insurance carrier now requires AI-detection screening as a condition of malpractice coverage for firms above a size threshold. AI Checker's legal tier is positioned for this compliance landscape rather than for adversarial use against opposing counsel. The three primary workflows are: vetting incoming work product from associates and external counsel before filing, due diligence on contract drafts in M&A and licensing workflows where authorship attribution matters for negotiation history, and authenticity verification on deposition transcripts and statements where transcription accuracy intersects with AI-assisted summarization. The sentence-level breakdown is particularly valuable in legal contexts because partial AI use is increasingly accepted in firms — associates drafting standard sections (statements of facts, procedural history) with AI assistance is normalized, while AI-drafted argumentation and case-law analysis is generally not. AI Checker's enterprise legal tier includes audit logging that meets the documentation requirements of major compliance frameworks, on-premise deployment for firms with strict data-residency requirements (common in EU and UK practice), and integration with iManage and NetDocuments DMS platforms. For litigation support specifically, the tier provides chain-of-custody-friendly export formats useful for evidentiary use of detection results. The legal team within AI Checker maintains a public position that detection scores should not be the sole basis for any adverse professional action; we provide template policy language and ethics-opinion summaries that firms can adapt for their internal AI-use governance.

Frequently asked questions
Is AI Checker free for lawyers?
Yes. AI Checker has a free tier built for lawyers with no signup required. Higher-volume usage and team features are available on paid plans.
How accurate is detection for this use case?
AI Checker reaches 95-98% accuracy on unedited AI text across all major models (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.). Accuracy stays above 90% on lightly edited or paraphrased content. Always pair the score with context — it's a strong signal, not a verdict.
Will my submitted text stay private?
Yes. Text submitted to AI Checker is processed in memory and is not used to train models. We do not sell or share content. Free tier submissions are not stored beyond the analysis itself.
Does AI Checker have an API for this workflow?
Yes. A REST API is available on all tiers — including the free tier with rate limits. Documentation includes example clients for TypeScript, Python, Go, and Rust.
What about false positives?
False positive rate on real human writing is approximately 1-2% across detection benchmarks. We surface this transparently — every result includes a confidence indicator. Vetting briefs, contracts, and depositions for AI-generated content where attribution matters.
