Why this matter warrants attention
The court issued a formal warning to plaintiff's counsel regarding the inclusion of fabricated case law and nonexistent quotes in a response brief. The court attributed these errors to potential, undisclosed use of generative AI, noting that counsel failed to comply with mandatory chambers rules requiring disclosure and certification of AI-assisted drafting.
The court reasoned that the submission of inaccurate, nonexistent citations and fabricated quotes violated the standards of practice and the court's specific chambers rules regarding generative AI, which require disclosure and certification of accuracy to ensure compliance with Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
Know each judge's standing AI disclosure order; failure to certify verification triggers warnings that precede Rule 11 sanctions.
