The adoption of GenAI poses risks to critical thinking skills among lawyers, particularly affecting younger professionals. While GenAI simplifies certain tasks, it creates a reliance that may undermine the development of thorough legal research skills. The process of legal research requires deeper analysis than just obtaining quick answers, as it is not merely about finding existing law. Experienced lawyers possess an ingrained understanding of this complex process, which is essential for effective legal practice, contrasting with the tendency of young lawyers to default to GenAI solutions.
