"Not every mistake is attributable to an AI hallucination. But once a firm suffers a couple admonishments from the court - including one that cost the firm over $50K to make right - its lawyers have to redouble their effort to keep every filing above reproach. Because the moment anything looks off, opposing counsel will wonder if it's the product of AI run amok and lax oversight. And the court isn't likely to give the accused firm the benefit of the doubt."
"In Jackson Hosp. & Clinic Inc., a judge issued an order to show cause why sanctions shouldn't follow based upon a brief with "pervasive inaccurate, misleading, and fabricated citations, quotations, and representations of legal authority.""
Gordon Rees previously received an order to show cause after an attorney submitted fabricated citations in Jackson Hosp. & Clinic Inc., prompting reimbursement of fees and an updated cite-checking AI policy. A new brief in Huynh v. Redis Labs alleges further AI-related fabrications in a Gordon Rees filing amid a third-round motion to compel. The defendant previously earned monetary sanctions and a warning that terminating sanctions could follow. The defendant missed a deposition due to a last-minute medical emergency, and the plaintiff contends many citations in Gordon Rees’s filings distort the governing standard for terminating sanctions.
