Until today, all the punishments I've seen are fines, in the $1000-$5000 range. This one's a little more so -- this attorney has to pay $6000, plus self-report for bar discipline. The bar could issue suspension or disbarment. I hear there's another one pending where a court has issued a show-cause order, asking the attorney to explain why he shouldn't spend a few nights in the cooler. If I confirm that rumor, I'll pass it on.</div><div><br></div><div>Don't trust the stuff you get from AI. Instead, distrust and verify.</div></div>
