"At this early stage of AI adoption, it seems premature, if not dangerous, to eliminate the roles of a profession whose primary competency is assessing and working with complex legal information sources" John Papadopoulos, "Where Are the Law Librarians" on Slaw.ca: lnkd.in/g6FjU9ks

Librarians teach people to assess whether information is trustworthy. As misinformation/AI content grow, those skills matter more than ever. Cutting librarians has consequences and puts pressure on the justice system. @hjrosborough.bsky.social on The Legal Cost of Cutting Librarians lnkd.in/gkDavZxp

As people turn to the internet and GenAI for legal information, the challenge is not just access to tools, but knowing how to use them effectively. Legal information professionals and law librarians can help build the skills needed to find, evaluate, and use credible legal information.
