- [5541658-020](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/5541658-020) [mechanism/argued] *(failure mode)* -- The risk of overreliance on legal AI is amplified by the system's perceived objectivity, which invites uncritical acceptance of flawed outputs by legal professionals.

- [5541658-021](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/5541658-021) [empirical/evidenced] -- The overreliance concern is not uniform: some studies find that annotators do not over rely on LLM output when labelling court opinions for legally relevant factors, and other studies find an aversion to AI generated legal content consistent with algorithmic aversion in other domains.
  > On the other hand, some studies have found that students were unlikely to over rely on LLM output when labelling court opinions as to legally relevant factors.
