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.

Serial defamation suits over the same abuse allegations compound a plaintiff's exposure: the 2023 settlement clause is now a breach claim, Miller's own recordings are cited as admissions, and Ohio's anti-SLAPP law adds mandatory fee risk. This record maps the three-case arc as a repeat-litigant pattern for lawyers.

The Reflecting Pool case record explains why the felony indictment against David Hearn collapsed despite the public vandalism narrative: the government's dismissal motion admitted the pool liner was destroyed by a rushed, botched contractor installation, and its own grand jury witness could not tie Hearn to the damage or the $1,000 threshold. Readers get a verified, primary-source-linked account that separates what the court record shows from what was reported.

A modern counterfeit goods bust is not a single legal event but a stack of independent, concurrently running exposure layers: criminal penalties under 18 U.S.C. § 2320, civil Lanham Act statutory damages, and administrative liability enforced by CBP. This risk digest record maps those tiers using four verified 2026 seizures as anchor cases.

Meeting the Illinois Medical Release Act's terminal-illness test does not predict release: the board denied nearly two-thirds of medically qualified applicants in the 2023 Injustice Watch/WBEZ review, and Sean Grayson's 3-0 denial followed the same pattern. This explainer walks practitioners through the statute's eligibility thresholds, three-member panel mechanics, and the discretionary public-safety assessment that actually decides a petition.

Headlines and AI summaries called it a raid, but the July 2026 search of Linda Blair's California property was authorized by an administrative inspection warrant, not a criminal search warrant. The distinction changes what the event means legally, and a classification checklist helps litigators and journalists vet warrant-type claims in AI-generated legal summaries.

Capital One says a months-long AML review, not politics, drove its closure of Trump Organization accounts — a defense that Bank Secrecy Act SAR confidentiality makes hard to verify and equally hard to refute. The S.D. Fla. docket now tests whether that defense can survive a debanking claim when secrecy caps discovery.

An ML-assisted AML review that drives an account closure into litigation creates a discovery burden: banks must be able to reconstruct alert scores, model features, investigation notes, and explainability documentation, while SAR confidentiality and sealing practice cap what reaches the public record. The pending Trump Revocable Trust v. Capital One docket shows how that production fight is unfolding and what bank risk teams should preserve.
