Course Overview

After the Sanction Comes the Malpractice Claim

2026-08-26 13:00:00

A fabricated citation reaches a brief. The court issues sanctions. The order hits the public docket. The harder problem comes next: the client files a malpractice claim, and the carrier points to an AI-specific exclusion no one had read.

Sanctions decisions have grown from Mata v. Avianca into a steady stream. Bar ethics opinions now address AI use directly. Insurers have responded with AI exclusions, new underwriting questions, and affirmative AI products. Use generative tools without a verification protocol, and you are already exposed. Assume your current malpractice policy answers the question, and you may be wrong.

This program maps duty, breach, causation, and damages onto real AI fact patterns. It traces the sanctions-to-malpractice pipeline through the leading cases. And it shows how policies actually respond across CGL, D&O, EPL, cyber, and IP lines, plus the risk-transfer and indemnification terms that govern AI vendors. You leave able to spot which AI errors create exposure, read your own coverage before you need it, and draft the protections that hold.
