Benjamin v. State
CA Maryland · Aug 25, 2026
What happened in this matter?
Fabricated: Case Law | Appellant's appellate brief contained multiple inaccurate case citations; the court observed the errors were likely due to AI-assisted drafting but found they were not excessive and did not include wholly made-up cases. Outcome: Admonishment. The court found appellant's brief contained multiple inaccurate case citations and observed that, although counsel did not admit using AI, the errors appeared likely AI-related. Citing Mezu v. Mezu (an earlier AI-related decision), the court reviewed the errors, concluded they were not excessive and did not include wholly fabricated cases, accepted counsel's corrective attempts, and opted not to refer counsel for disciplinary action while warning counsel to verify citations generated with AI.
