Chattanooga Times Free Press reports that an Atlanta divorce attorney is facing harsh criticism from multiple judges for submitting court filings that appear to have been drafted by artificial intelligence without proper verification. The controversy arose during a hearing in a divorce case when the presiding judge flagged numerous inconsistencies and incoherent arguments in the legal brief.

Judges involved in the case expressed concern over the growing reliance on AI tools in legal practice, especially when attorneys fail to review and validate content before submission. They noted that the misuse of generative AI in court documents undermines the integrity of legal proceedings and violates professional ethical standards.

The case has prompted calls for stronger guidance and clearer rules on the use of AI in legal drafting. Legal associations in Georgia are reportedly preparing new training materials and ethical advisories in response to the incident, aiming to prevent future breaches of professional conduct linked to AI misuse.
