In this week’s NLJ, Professor Dominic Regan of City Law School, AKA The Insider, tackles the ‘infamous judicial review in which no less than five fake authorities were cited’
The chief suspect is artificial intelligence (AI). AI aside, Regan notes a general propensity for excessive wordage. He writes: ‘Too many advocates cannot resist the temptation to chuck in citations.’
He also recalls the tale of—pre-AI—a lawyer whose invented judgment—like faked Masters that hang in galleries for years—was so good that it impressed a judge. Regan also covers a recent case on costs and the upcoming agenda at the Rule Committee.
