This decision addresses a show cause proceeding against counsel, Jisuh Lee, for submitting a factum containing fictitious case citations generated by artificial intelligence in a civil estates matter.
The court reviews the duties of counsel to verify authorities, the new certification rule for facta, and the professional and ethical implications of AI use in legal practice.
The court finds that Ms. Lee has adequately purged any contempt through her admissions, apology, corrective actions, and commitment to further professional development, and dismisses the show cause order on conditions.
