What the record shows
At an order-to-show-cause hearing, plaintiffs' counsel admitted using AI to prepare their arguments and failing to independently verify two non-existent cases and one non-existent quote in their briefing, and accepted responsibility. The court imposed sanctions including a monetary component (reimbursing defendants' estimated expenses) and required counsel to complete and prove completion of CLE within six months.

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.
