One darker issue is the father in the article talking about how law firms would not take the case, forcing them to represent themselves and rely on help from AI. I wonder why those law firms didn’t take it. Is it because they have conflicts of interest, like wanting business from the same states they would need to target with lawsuits?
Alternatively, lawyers have a paramount duty as officers of the court. As surprising as this would seem, given the sort of bullshit cases we hear about every day, this creates an obligation for them to not commence proceedings that have no prospects of success.
Best of luck to him, anyway. This approach very rarely works out well for litigants.
