Alan Dershowitz hit with order to pay $12,220 in attorneys fees for his participation in what court deemed to be a frivolous claim

Back in May I reported that the Arizona Supreme Court imposed sanctions on Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake’s lawyers for false claims about voter fraud in the 2022 election.  

Now comes news that a federal judge has ordered Alan Dershowitz to pay attorneys fees as sanctions for violating Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.  Courthouse News Service has the story here, stating that "[d]espite playing what Dershowitz described as an extremely limited role in Lake’s suit against the Arizona secretary of state and supervisors of both Maricopa and Pima counties, U.S. District Judge John Tuchi ordered him to pay $12,220 in attorney’s fees to the Maricopa County defendants for breaking Rule 11 . . ."
