Judge Reprimands Attorney for Using ChatGPT in Divorce Case, Orders Remedial Legal Education
Judge Reprimands Attorney for Using ChatGPT in Divorce Case, Orders Remedial Legal Education after a Maryland family lawyer, Adam Hyman, filed an appellate brief in a custody/divorce matter stuffed with ChatGPT‑hallucinated citations—some to cases that don’t exist, others that undercut his own arguments. Hyman blamed a law clerk and added that he “does very little appellate work,” a defense Judge Kathryn Grill Graeff found about as persuasive as imaginary precedent. Calling it “unquestionably improper,” the judge noted neither Hyman nor the clerk read the cited cases, falling short of basic competence. She ordered both to complete courses on the ethical use of AI, implement firmwide citation‑verification protocols, and referred Hyman to the Attorney Grievance Commission. Graeff issued a published opinion to flag what she called a recurring problem nationwide—Maryland’s first such warning, and unlikely its last.

Speeding car crashes into crowd outside Florida bar, killing four and injuring at least 13
Speeding car crashes into crowd outside Florida bar, killing four and injuring at least 13, after a 22-year-old driver fleeing police slammed into the packed patio of Bradley’s on 7th in Tampa’s Ybor City just after 12:45 a.m. Saturday. Police say Silas Kenneth Sampson, 22, had been street racing on I-275 before Florida Highway Patrol initiated—and then disengaged—a pursuit; moments later, he lost control and plowed into patrons outside the bar. Three victims died at the scene and a fourth at the hospital; two remain in critical condition, with others treated or stabilized. Sampson is charged with four counts of vehicular homicide and multiple counts of aggravated fleeing to elude causing serious injury or death, and is being held without bond. Officials say there’s no evidence the business or victims were targeted. Tampa’s police chief called it a senseless tragedy; the mayor said the city is shaken, and the bar’s owner praised first responders and closed the venue through Monday. The Florida Highway Patrol is leading the investigation.
