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.

As far as I understand it judges don't despair lawyers the bar association does. That requires a tribunal and the entire thing takes forever.

So these lawyers may actually end up getting disbarred but as with all things legal, it will take 500 times longer than any reasonable person thinks it should.
