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.

After Judge Steven D. Merryday's July 27, 2026 order in Trump v. New York Times Co., the $15 billion defamation claim is alive only procedurally: the court deferred the Times' motion to dismiss and granted leave to amend without deciding any merits question. This docket-anchored record verifies what the order did, what remains undecided, and the deadlines now binding the parties, beginning with an amended complaint due August 27, 2026.

A confirmed-vs-reported case record for Aaron Farinacci, the Old Trails Fire arson suspect arrested Aug. 3, 2026, in Spokane County. It separates what primary sources verify — a first-degree arson booking under RCW 9A.48.020, $1M bond, witness and evidence accounts — from reporting-only claims on acreage, damage totals, and his Arizona prior record.

The Supreme Court's June 15, 2026 order in HMTX Industries v.

Dated market records through mid-July 2026 show the pied-a-terre tax has split Manhattan luxury into two tiers: momentum held below roughly $10M, while $10M+ contract activity hit its weakest week since December. The top-end pause is partly tax-driven and partly seasonal or uncertainty-related, with Q3 closings and Aug 30 exemption notices as the next signals.

Lottery winner anonymity in the U.S. is a state-by-state patchwork: some states protect winners unconditionally, others only above a prize threshold or through specific claim procedures, and the rest require disclosure. Because source counts differ and several statutes changed in 2025–2026, the record flags what an adviser must verify before relying on any published list.
