This week’s read-across
2 rulings landed on the docket between 2024-09-02 and 2024-09-08. The most common recorded outcome this week was Warning (1 of 2). No rulings this week specified a dollar-figure monetary penalty in the docket text — but bar referrals, adverse-costs orders, and case-standing consequences apply regardless.
CHATGPT 3 was the most-implicated AI tool this week.
The pattern each week is remarkably stable: existence failures (Layer 1) dominate. Attorneys file briefs containing citations that do not exist in any primary source — usually because a general-purpose LLM fabricated the citation and no deterministic pre-filing check caught it. Every ruling below is a preventable filing. See /verify for the pre-filing tool.
