What happened in this matter?

The court declined to sanction counsel for the use of generative AI. While the court acknowledged a 'misstatement' in the brief, it accepted counsel's explanation that the error was a human oversight and concluded the cited authorities did not rise to the level of sanctionable misrepresentation.

Why this matter is tracked

In a civil rights action involving the death of a pretrial detainee, the court addressed a motion to exclude expert testimony and a concurrent allegation by defendants that plaintiff's counsel violated Fed. R. Civ. P. 11 by using generative AI to draft a brief containing false case citations. Counsel admitted to using an AI drafting tool but maintained he verified the citations, attributing a single misstatement to human editing error. The court declined to impose sanctions, finding that the cited authorities were not so dissimilar from the propositions advanced as to constitute sanctionable misrepresentation. The court expressed concern regarding the growing reliance on AI for legal drafting and the resulting risk of synthetic authority.

Operational lesson

Even a single misstatement draws a judicial note; every citation must be vetted against the primary source.
