Fake court cases. Made-up quotes. Real consequences for the people in court.
A prosecutor’s work in Hannah Payne’s murder appeal included citations to cases that didn’t exist. The Georgia Supreme Court suspended her privilege to practice before that court for six months and required additional legal education. But what happens when fake AI citations appear in a judge’s own order?
I’m Nate the Lawyer, and we’re breaking down a Georgia prosecutor’s suspension, a Canadian lawyer’s use of nonexistent cases, and reports involving judges in Mississippi and Oklahoma. From a murder appeal to a child custody dispute, these examples raise a serious question: Are lawyers and judges being held to the same standard?
Watch the courtroom exchange, the news reports, and my breakdown of the accountability question.
Should judges face fines or suspension for citing fake cases? Tell me what you think in the comments.
