Two lawyers who submitted fake case citations generated by ChatGPT will face a $5,000 fine, as well as the requirement to contact each falsely identified judge, according to a ruling from U.S. District Judge Kevin Castel. Castel’s 34-page opinion did not require Steven Schwartz and Peter LoDuca to issue apologies, citing the lack of sincerity in required apologies. The lawyers admitted to using the fake citations in a court filing, leading to the sanctions. The ruling comes as legal professionals continue to debate the use of AI in the legal profession.
