Speakers:

Generative AI tools are making it easier for self-represented litigants and other parties to prepare lengthy court filings, legal briefs, motions, and objections. In some cases, those filings contain fabricated citations, inaccurate quotations, unsupported legal propositions, or procedurally improper submissions. This CLE will address the practical question now facing lawyers and courts: how should attorneys respond when AI-generated or AI-assisted filings create litigation burdens, distort the record, or raise concerns under court rules? 
 

The program will begin by reviewing recent cases in which courts have addressed AI-generated legal errors, including fake case citations, fabricated quotations, and filings that failed to comply with procedural rules. It will then turn to the judicial framework for managing vexatious litigation and improper filings, including sanctions, fee awards, stricken filings, dismissal, filing restrictions, and pre-filing review orders where appropriate. 
 

The program will provide practical guidance for attorneys on how to identify and respond to these issues, including to raise suspected AI-generated errors, create a clear record, preserve objections, seek proportionate relief, and communicate concerns to the court without overreaching. The discussion will also address the need to balance protection against abusive or improper litigation conduct with access to justice for self-represented litigants.
