Why this matter warrants attention
The court disqualified the defense attorney and referred her to the Bar Association for disciplinary action after she filed a brief containing fabricated case law and misrepresented precedents, likely generated by unverified AI use. The court held that this conduct violated the fundamental duties of professional diligence and the defendant's right to an effective defense.
Fabricated: Case Law | Cited as authority two decisions that do not exist; court found no corresponding rulings on the dates given. || Fabricated: Case Law | Cited as authority a decision that does not exist; court found no match for the citation or text quoted. || Misrepresented: Case Law | Asserted that CSJN Fallos 342:1100 supports an acquittal rule in sexual‑assault cases; court found the Fallos reference belongs to a different Telefónica municipal case and the claimed holding is incorrect. || Misrepresented: Case Law | Relied on two existing provincial decisions (Sent. N.º 108/2024 and 217/2024) but attributed to them the rule that art.119(3) cannot be applied without pericial evidence; court held those decisions do not state that. || Misrepresented: Case Law | Same misrepresentation regarding another existing decision cited by the defense; court found no support for the asserted proposition in that ruling. || Fabricated: Case Law | Multiple additional invented case citations and invented panel members repeated across the brief (approximately 20 instances identified by the court).
Uncritical AI use in a criminal defense brief can cost you the case and your bar standing — require human-supervised review.
