Judge decides case based on AI-hallucinated case law

[Dannyalcatraz]

When a judge relies on his clerks to do the work, they don't, and the judge doesn't do required due diligence. As much on the judge as the lawyers who cited fictitious precedent.

Absolutely. I wasn’t just talking about disbarring the lawyers; that judge needs to be removed as well.

The clerks responsible for reviewing the documents need some form of reprimand, but as relatively inexperienced officers of the court, I’m not sure preemptive disbarment is warranted (or even possible). But they definitely earned some kind of sanction.

Agreed. I came here for info on Rocket Propelled Gernades.

Agreed. The whole point of clerking is so that you learn how things work, in practical terms. I think of it like how if someone who is driving on a learner's permit, with a licensed driver in the car, drives carelessly. The supervising driver can be charged as it's their fault they didn't reign in the behaviour.

The intersection of AI and law is a perfectly cromulent topic for the Geek Talk forum.
