The Story in Brief
LiveLaw, the legal news website, has issued detailed editorial guidelines for article submissions. The rules ban AI-generated or AI-rewritten content, require a clear contemporary thesis, and demand constructive criticism free of personal or partisan agendas. Articles must be 1,200, 1,500 words, submitted as Word documents with selective hyperlinks instead of footnotes. Submissions by lawyers on cases they have argued are not accepted. The guidelines aim to ensure original, grounded legal insight rather than generic or aggregated writing.
The Indian Opinion
The usual complaint about legal journalism is that it is either too dense or too shallow. LiveLaw’s new guidelines at least tackle the first problem by banning AI-generated text, generic explainers, and pointless footnotes. But the real test is enforcement: will the editors actually reject cleverly rewritten AI content? And when a lawyer wants to write about a case they argued, the bar is rightly raised. Readers should watch how many published columns still carry that familiar synthetic tone.
