More lawyers misusing AI (Westlaw's CoCounsel): 6th Cir. opinion today focuses on criminal defense attorney who "used artificial intelligence to draft the briefs in this case and then filed them without properly verifying the cited legal authorities." "The first tell" that AI use was in play was the file name of the principal brief: "CoCounsel Skill Results." "CoCounsel is the name of Westlaw’s internal artificial-intelligence platform." "Further suspicions arose" when the briefs included three fake quotations and several misrepresented case holdings. Lawyer admitted he directed a staff member to upload district court docs to CoCounsel to create a first draft of the brief. He said this was his first time using Westlaw CoCounsel. Court notes that the fact that the cases are real, and only the quotes were fake, "does not absolve him." "The fact remains that Howe committed inexcusable transgressions during the appellate phase of this case. And that misconduct had consequences." Sanctions: -Lawyer will not be compensated under Criminal Justice Act for time spent on the appeal. -Referred to Chief Judge of 6th Cir. to consider disciplinary proceedings. -Opinion to be served on E.D. Ky. chief judge and clerk and Disciplinary Clerk for Kentucky Bar Association. -Lawyer removed from further representation in the case.

In an era of declining professional standards, it’s becoming alarmingly common to see attorneys who treat certified court reporters as optional rather than essential. Real justice demands an accurate, impartial, and verbatim record of every legal proceeding. That record isn’t created by AI, Zoom transcripts, or “good enough” notes. The record is created by highly trained, certified court reporters who uphold the integrity of the judicial process. Attorneys who insist on certified reporters demonstrate respect for their clients, the court, and the rule of law. They understand that a flawed record can jeopardize appeals, settlements, and the very outcome of a case. So, here’s the question: Where are the attorneys who still care enough to demand excellence in the official record? If you’re one of the attorneys who refuse to cut corners on something as fundamental as the transcript, eCourt Reporters is for you. A database of vetted professional court reporters is available now for efficient direct bookings. eCourt Reporters, Inc.

Perks in exchange for court reporting services? The integrity of the court record is foundational. A court reporter's transcript must be accurate, impartial, and professional. Certified transcripts serve as the official record of depositions, hearings, and trials that can make or break a case. Complaints are emerging in legal circles about a troubling practice in which attorneys are being sent substandard court reporting services in exchange for personal perks, including bottles of fine alcohol or other incentives. Accepting such inducements creates a conflict of interest. Lawyers have a duty to act in their clients' best interests under the rules of the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct. Selecting a reporter based on personal kickbacks rather than qualifications could shortchange the client, delivering a subpar transcript. Clients pay for and deserve the highest standard of recordkeeping, not one influenced by gifts. eCourt Reporters continues to compile a growing database of certified, vetted court reporters for direct law firm access.
