If it's not acceptable to hallucinate laws for writing legal documents, then writing legal documents is probably an unacceptable use case.

Also, how do you mitigate a lawyer writing whatever they want (aka: hallucinating) when writing legal documents? Double-checking??

Legislators pass incoherent legislation every day. "hallucination" is the de-facto standard for human behavior (and for law).

Of course they are supposed to double and triple and multiple check as they think and write, documentation and references at hand, _exactly_ how you are supposed to do from trivial informal context on towards critical ones - exactly the same, you check the detail and the whole, multiple times.
