Ask HN: AI Solutions for Open Records Requests and Legal Processes

2 points

2 years ago

I am currently facing a challenge in obtaining documentation through an open records request from the State Attorney General for a human resources investigation. I have reached a point where I likely need a lawyer to lay out a case for the records. I would prefer to obtain the human resources investigation via open records rather than having to resort to legal action.

Has anyone come across AI legal services that can aid in drafting and submitting open records requests or dealing with legal processes? I'm exploring the possibility of leveraging AI to assist in navigating bureaucratic hurdles. I was slightly inspired by everybody's favorite lawyer Michael Cohen: https://www.npr.org/2023/12/30/1222273745/michael-cohen-ai-fake-legal-cases.

I am not interested in using this for malicious intentions. However, speaking very generally, I'm guessing that battling with open requests should follow a general template.

Moreover, if there are lawyers out there interested in collaborating on an AI lawyer-based application, I am open to discussing side projects. Creating a tool that can streamline and enhance the legal process, especially in dealing with bureaucratic resistance, could be a valuable endeavor.
