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.

When a news report says Sean Combs was 'sent to solitary' after a July 2026 fight at FCI Fort Dix, several distinct federal processes are folded into one headline — and the fight itself remains unverified. The actionable framework is 28 CFR Part 541: administrative detention pending a Unit Discipline Committee referral, disciplinary segregation only a hearing officer can impose, and the sanctions and SHU conditions floors that apply to a sentenced inmate.

With shelters overwhelmed after the July 2026 surge, Spanish Supreme Court precedent forecloses any summary return of unaccompanied minors from Ceuta. Statutory care sits with Ceuta's autonomous-city government until repatriation with consent, family reunion, or majority; every removal path requires an individual procedure, and officials who bypass it carry proven criminal exposure.

In the Patrick Dennehy murder case, nearly every headline claim diverged from the record: the 'decapitation' reports, the self-defense confession, the coach's fabricated drug-dealer story, and the psychosis accounts each required a primary source to correct. That claim-to-source mapping — autopsy, FBI, court, and NCAA records — is the verification discipline legal teams should apply to AI-generated research and content before reliance.
