Part of it is selection bias, Claude is much less general-audiences than ChatGPT. But any lawyers using LLMs in 2025 deserve to be disbarred:

The list goes on and on. Maybe there's a bespoke RAG solution that works...maybe.

In what year would you think it will be acceptable and why?

LLMs are tools, I don't see anything wrong with using them in any occupation as long as the user is aware of the limitations.

no - some Judge wrote to his family member recently.. " I am seeing all these great briefs now " followed by a novice discussion of AI use. This is anecdotal (recent), but it says to me that non-lawyers, with care, are writing their own legal papers across the USA and doing it well. This fits with other anecdotes here in coastal California for ordinary law uses.
