Tomorrow marks the one-year anniversary of U.S. District Judge Brantley Starr of the Northern District of Texas issuing a standing order regarding the use of artificial intelligence in proceedings before him.
Adopted in the wake of a well-publicized federal case in New York where lawyers cited fictitious “hallucinated” cases in a brief, Starr’s “Mandatory Certification Regarding Generative Artificial Intelligence” has required attorneys and pro se litigants coming before him to attest that either artificial intelligence was not used to draft their court filings, or that any language drafted using AI is checked for accuracy.
