Module 2 Knowledge Check (Self‑Check)

This self‑check focuses on supervision, documentation, and verification.

Questions

  1. Q1. What is the primary purpose of documenting AI use?
    • To impress clients
    • To create an audit trail for supervision and accountability
    • To avoid paying for software
    • To replace attorney review

    Answer: To create an audit trail for supervision and accountability
    Why: Documentation supports supervision, defensibility, and quality control.

  2. Q2. True or False: If a task is low risk, you can skip human review.
    • True
    • False

    Answer: False
    Why: Human review is always required; low risk just means lighter verification.

  3. Q3. Which item should be included in a minimum AI audit trail?
    • The model’s training data
    • The tool used and the purpose
    • The vendor’s marketing brochure
    • The user’s personal opinions

    Answer: The tool used and the purpose
    Why: A basic audit trail includes tool, purpose, inputs, outputs, verification, and reviewer.

  4. Q4. When should non‑attorney staff escalate AI output to an attorney?

    Answer: When it affects legal strategy, privilege, client communications, filings, or any high‑risk judgment.
    Why: Escalation keeps legal judgment with the supervising attorney.

  5. Q5. Which verification technique is most appropriate for citations?

    Answer: Open each citation and confirm it supports the stated proposition.
    Why: Citation verification must be done against primary sources.

  6. Q6. Name one red flag that suggests hallucination risk.

    Answer: A case citation you cannot locate; overly specific facts with no source; confident answers with no references.
    Why: Hallucinations often appear as plausible but unverified specifics.

  7. Q7. What does “counterexample testing” do?

    Answer: It checks for contrary authority or facts that would change the conclusion.
    Why: It reduces one‑sided outputs and helps spot missing context.

  8. Q8. If you cannot verify a key fact, what should you do?

    Answer: Do not rely on it; flag it, escalate, and revise the draft based on verified sources.
    Why: Unverified claims should not survive into final work product.
