LOL - you gotta be kidding. In software, we strive for that - by running tests. In the law, there are no tests.

Not saying that absolute precision isn't required. I know lots of cases were an extra comma, a wrong date, or a signature from the wrong person has cost someone tens of millions of dollars. I would argue that AI-based tools could prevent such HUMAN mistakes.

Still you won’t find a useful/sober lawyer who would argue a case in front of a judge based on a made up precedent which never existed in reality.

Making a mistake as you put it, in humans, is quite different than “hallucinations” of an LLM. The practical AI tool that is good for preventing such human mistakes (precisely) doesn’t exist _yet_.
