A federal judge sanctioned all four attorneys of record in a civil case, two representing the plaintiff and two representing the City of Aberdeen, after court filings from both sides contained fabricated case citations and false quotations generated by AI tools. The judge revoked two out-of-state attorneys’ admission to practice in the district for two years, disqualified the two local counsel, imposed fines, cancelled the scheduled trial entirely, and referred all four to state bar disciplinary authorities.
