Course Overview

When the Verification Step Becomes the Sanctions Hearing

Generative AI has moved from novelty to operational infrastructure inside law firms, and the discipline machinery has caught up, sanctions orders, standing orders, ABA Formal Opinion 512, and a proposed Federal Rule of Evidence 707 are reshaping what counts as competent, candid, and admissible work product. The risk is no longer hypothetical: courts have sanctioned attorneys for unverified AI citations, opposing counsel are challenging AI-assisted exhibits under FRE 901 and Daubert, and the Judicial Conference’s June 2025 approval of proposed Rule 707 signals that machine-generated evidence will be tested against Rule 702-grade reliability. Attorneys who treat AI as an associate’s tool, without confidentiality protocols, supervision frameworks, or authentication strategy, are already exposed under Model Rules 1.1, 1.6, 5.1, and 5.3. This program delivers a working framework on both sides of the docket: verification protocols and vendor due diligence under ABA Opinion 512, plus authentication, Daubert challenges, and disclosure strategy under the new evidence rules, including lessons from Huang v. Tesla.

Key topics that will be covered

What will you gain

They gain verification protocols, vendor due diligence steps, disclosure practices, and defensible strategies for handling deepfakes, machine-generated proof, and AI-assisted expert testimony in active litigation.
