    Best Judgment: Judges blast lawyers for citing hallucinated cases, but ethics pros say rule changes not needed (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    It seems hardly a day goes by without a story about an attorney citing hallucinated cases. Public humiliation—including court orders with scoldings and fines—is often part of the details, as well as getting fired. But perhaps the worst part is being known as the lawyer who submitted fake cases and didn’t bother to check their work. Positive stories about how helpful artificial intelligence can be for lawyers and how much money it can make for the tech industry also take up a lot of space in the
