Last week, I told the story of a lawyer who was discovered by a court in New York to have filed a legal brief generated by ChatGPT.

Instead of doing the research on his own, Steven A. Schwartz had ChatGPT conduct his legal research and even write the legal brief for him, which he then filed at a Manhattan courthouse in support of an upcoming motion. An article in the New York Times relayed the details of Mr. Schwartz’s court attendance this week, when he was called upon by Judge P. Kevin Castel to respond to pointed questions about the fictitious brief.
This week, Judge Castel is considering whether to impose sanctions on Mr. Schwartz and another firm lawyer, Peter LoDuca, whose name was also on the brief. The New York Times’ article described that during the attendance, Judge Castel “lifted both arms in the air, palms up, while asking Mr. Schwartz why he did not better check his work.”From our newsroom to your inbox at noon, the latest headlines, stories, opinion and photos from the Toronto Sun.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.
