    Court documents are at https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/63107798/mata-v-avianca-inc/

    The transcript of the hearing where the judge grilled the lawyers won’t be available to the public for another 2 weeks.

    I feel like the lawyers are getting off really easy, considering.

    They just have to pay $5k each and notify their client and every judge they “cited” in their made-up cases that they did an oopsy.

    Oh and they lost the case, but it seems like that was foreshadowed long before the lawyers decided that ChatGPT was a court docket search engine.
