Artificial intelligence has arrived in the courtroom — and the legal profession is in crisis over how to respond. Courts across the country are imposing heavy sanctions on attorneys who submit AI-generated legal work containing fabricated citations, nonexistent cases, and hallucinated statutes. The Ethics Reporter covers every major AI sanctions case, exploring not just the individual attorney misconduct but the broader institutional question: is the legal profession using AI sanctions as a tool to protect its gatekeeping power against technological disruption? Our coverage examines the real costs of AI hallucinations in legal filings, the growing patchwork of court AI disclosure rules, and the fundamental question of whether the legal profession will adapt to artificial intelligence or try to regulate it out of existence.
