Legal AI Just Moved Into the Courthouse - And It Shifts the Burden of Proof Onto Your Firm's Own Records

In August 2026, Clio brought Casetext co-founder Pablo Arredondo aboard as SVP, Judiciary, to push legal AI into the courts themselves. Harvey and PacerPro wired firm-wide access to the litigation record. Google shipped a legal edition of Gemini Enterprise. The pattern is not that AI is getting better at law. It is that AI is moving from the associate's desk to the institution - and when the institution runs on AI, the thing that distinguishes a credible filing from a sanctionable one is provenance. Most firms cannot produce it.
