Unauthorized-practice litigationregulator describes the service as AI / software based

Outcome: Motion to dismiss granted for lack of Article III standing; November 28 amendment clarifies any dismissal is without prejudice.

The Southern District of Illinois grants DoNotPay’s motion to dismiss MillerKing’s complaint on November 17, 2023. The court describes DoNotPay as an online subscription service touting a robot lawyer, but finds the law firm plaintiff did not plead a concrete injury for Article III standing. A later amendment clarifies dismissal without prejudice.

In the regulator's words: “"robot lawyer"”
