Why this matter is tracked
Fabricated: Case Law | First of four non-existent case citations in Appellants’ May 16, 2024 brief; Appellee and the Court could not locate it; counsel later conceded nonexistence and the section was deleted in the amended brief. Outcome: 8 mandatory hours of Continuous Legal Education on ethics and AI. "Regardless of whatever resources are used to prepare a party’s brief, every attorney has an ongoing responsibility to review and ensure the accuracy of filings with this and other courts. This includes checking that all case law cited in a brief actually exists and supports the points being made. It is never acceptable to rely on software or technology—no matter how advanced—without reviewing and verifying the information. The use of AI or other technology does not excuse carelessness or failure to follow professional standards.Technology can be helpful, but it cannot replace a lawyer’s judgment, research, or ethical responsibilities. The practice of law changes with the use of new technology, but the core duties of competence and candor remain the same. Lawyers must adapt to new tools without lowering their standards."
Operational lesson
Eight hours of mandatory AI ethics CLE is the new baseline sanction — train your attorneys now or let a court do it publicly.
