Last January I reported on a case imposing significant sanctions for citing hallucinated cases and stated that the running count of cases involving courts complaining about hallucinated cases (created by AI) was 527. Two months later, the number is now 768 (and by the time you read this, it may be higher.) Go here for the full list.
I am writing about this again today because LawSites is reporting (here) that "[i]n what may be one of the most significant appellate sanctions rulings yet involving fabricated case citations, the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has imposed substantial penalties on two Tennessee attorneys for filing briefs containing more than two dozen fake or misrepresented citations."
The lawyers involved were ordered to pay $15,000 each in fines and to jointly pay for their opponents' full attorney fees on appeal plus and amount equal to double their costs.
