Law & Crime reports that a federal judge in Colorado sanctioned attorneys representing Mike Lindell for submitting an AI-generated court filing riddled with errors, including citations to nonexistent cases. The attorneys claimed the filing was an inadvertent submission of a prior draft, but the judge found their explanation contradictory and lacking evidence.

The judge imposed $3,000 in sanctions and criticized the attorneys’ failure to properly review the AI-generated document. Emails showed draft versions contained the same errors as the final filing. Lindell himself was not sanctioned, as he was unaware of the AI use. The case highlights the ethical and professional risks of uncritical reliance on AI in legal practice and may lead to disciplinary actions against the lawyers involved.
