Risk Digest
The flagship, near-daily updated database of documented AI hallucination and sanction incidents in legal proceedings worldwide. Each entry is a structured record, not a news article: jurisdiction, court, judge (if named), the AI tool implicated, penalty amount, ruling date, a confirmed-vs-reported status flag, and a link to the primary court order. Serves the 'check risk' and 'track regulation' tasks: a lawyer, risk manager, or journalist scanning for new sanctions, a specific jurisdiction, or a specific tool. Excludes narrative commentary, procedural how-to guidance (belongs in Workflows), and rule text summaries (belongs in Regulation). This group is the site's differentiation engine: freshness and per-record sourcing are the moat, so every record must carry a last-verified timestamp distinct from the ruling date.
Confirmed
A court order or docket entry has been independently verified.
Reported — unverified
Still pending independent verification against a primary source.

With the Supreme Court still weighing the emergency application in Trump v. California, No. 26A124, the decisive risk is timing, not the lawfulness of the mail-voting order. Litigators get the docket-level picture: what the administration's ripeness argument actually says, the 23-state injunction record the appeal sits on, and the Purcell-timing scenarios that determine whether EO 14399 can be reviewed before the 2026 midterms.

A source-linked litigation docket showing where the Trump DOJ election-monitor fight actually stands as of Aug 4, 2026: the only adjudicated challenges, Missouri and Texas (Nov 2024), ended without a merits ruling, no injunction is in place, and the 2025–26 California, New Jersey, and Michigan confrontations produced letters and counter-deployments rather than court orders.

The Falcon 9 upper stage that struck the Moon on Aug 5, 2026 leaves the U.S. liable in principle as launching state but yields no compensable claim: the Liability Convention's 'damage' definition requires a protected party, and the lunar impact zone had none. The analysis maps the treaty framework, the Cosmos 954 settlement precedent, and the specific scenarios — a foreign lander, ejecta hitting third-party hardware, or astronaut injury — that would make lunar debris claims real.

For counsel whose cases begin at ICE airport detention, AI-generated citations now carry a verification duty that courts and the immigration agency are beginning to enforce.

Whether an airport phone search needs a warrant depends on the agency and the zone, not a single rule: TSA states its checkpoint screening does not read or copy device contents, while CBP border searches can proceed without a warrant or individualized suspicion. What refusal costs then varies by the traveler's immigration status.

Competent hunger strikers in US custody retain recognized rights to refuse treatment and challenge detention conditions, but federal regulations permit forced medical treatment once a medical officer finds life or permanent health is threatened. The decisive questions in any incident are therefore clinical and procedural—whether the medical trigger existed and whether a court order stands behind the force-feeding.
