The reason I’m skeptical of this is that it doesn’t seem like you could enforce a law against using AI for legal research. As much as lawyers might want to ban this as a group, individually they all have strong incentives to use AI anyway and just not admit it.
Although this assumes doing research and coming up with arguments is most of their job. It could be that most of their job is harder to do secretly, like meeting with clients and making arguments in court.
