Neon skull roll call wall — sanctioned attorneys

Live Roll Call · USA · Daily Sync

Another One Bytes the Dust

Every U.S. attorney, law firm, and pro se litigant publicly sanctioned by a court for filing briefs containing AI-hallucinated citations, fabricated quotes, or non-existent authorities.

Editorial Note: We deliberately do not publish photos of individual sanctioned attorneys. The factual record — case, court, outcome, penalty — is public, but attaching photographs to a public "wall of shame" raises serious right-of-publicity and defamation risks and is inconsistent with LegalTek's Dignity First core value. Every entry below links to the original court record so you can verify for yourself.
