What the record shows

The Supreme Court of Puerto Rico addressed counsel's professional duty to act with competence and technological diligence, including validating AI-generated content, and articulated a multi-factor framework for evaluating filings containing nonexistent or misrepresented citations. Although the court found the respondents had engaged in sanctionable conduct, it concluded that an ethical sanction was not warranted under the particular circumstances of the case and imposed no penalty.

This entry reflects the court document as filed. The citations at issue could not be located in the reporters named at the time of the order. The reading here is descriptive of the public record and is not legal advice.

The test this filing did not run

Every matter in this record shares one mechanism: a citation that did not resolve to an opinion in the reporter named, in a brief that was filed before any verification step ran. Veritas runs that step. The Filing Risk Scanner extracts each citation, resolves it against reporter and public-record sources, and returns a verdict on each one — located, partial, or not located in reporter — before the brief is signed.
