AI-generated legal documentation issues in Turkey

Overview

A legal dispute in an Istanbul court has highlighted the risks of using artificial intelligence in judicial filings. In a 10 million lira lawsuit, a defense attorney alleged that a petition contained fabricated legal precedents, specifically citing a non-existent Constitutional Court decision. The defense argued that certain phrasing in the document appeared to be “direct, unedited outputs from an AI tool” rather than professional legal writing.

Following this incident, legal experts in Turkey have issued warnings regarding the broader use of AI to draft legal petitions. Professionals note that while AI can generate templates rapidly, these documents often suffer from incorrect legal reasoning and “fabricated citations of Supreme Court decisions.”

Experts warn that these inaccuracies can lead to petitions being rejected on procedural grounds, resulting in lost time and court fees. Additionally, there are concerns regarding data privacy, as users may expose sensitive personal information when inputting details into AI models. Legal professionals advise citizens to consult qualified lawyers to avoid these pitfalls.
