An Arizona federal court issued extensive sanctions against attorney Maren Bam on August 14, 2025, after finding that her brief contained multiple artificial intelligence-generated citations to non-existent cases. The sanctions include revocation of pro hac vice status, striking the brief, and mandatory notification to state bar authorities.
How are they not immediately disbarred for this? Surely fabricating documents and citations gets you disbarred right?
It doesnt, but it should. Its malpractice of the highest degree and shows clear disregard for properly representing a client
