McGuireWoods Attorney Sanctioned in AI-Hallucination-Adjacent Filing (Ringer v. Bank of America)
A McGuireWoods attorney submitted a motion-to-dismiss brief with miscited cases and a fabricated block quotation; the court imposed Rule 11 sanctions (a $1,500 fine and supervisory co-signing requirement) and separately ordered the firm to submit a sworn statement on its citation-accuracy training. The attorney denied using AI, attributing errors to manual transcription mistakes -- whether AI was the actual cause remains disputed.
