Lawyers cannot reliably detect when AI-generated content contains hidden manipulative instructions in legal documents

Attorneys face a critical vulnerability where adversaries can embed prompt injections into court filings, motions, and legal documents to manipulate AI systems used by judges, opposing counsel, or court staff—creating potential sanctions, malpractice liability, and case outcomes based on hidden attacks rather than legal merit. Current document review processes lack tools to identify these embedded instructions, leaving lawyers defenseless against this emerging attack vector in litigation.
