RLF law firm caught submitting slop

Whoopsie: Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware: RE: Kevin Leiske et al. v. Robert Gregory Kidd et al., C.A. No. 2025-0426-CDW (LWW)

Here, the concerns raised by the initial filing were compounded by counsel’s response after the errors were identified. In correcting the Answering Brief, counsel merely deleted quotation marks while preserving the fabricated legal synthesis. Additionally, counsel’s assertion that parties should meet and confer before alerting the court to GenAI errors misstates the purpose of that requirement. The meet-and-confer requirement is designed to facilitate the resolution of disputes among parties. There is nothing to negotiate or compromise when an attorney submits false citations to a tribunal, and opposing counsel is justified in bringing such misrepresentations directly to the court’s attention.

Richards, Layton & Finger advertises themselves as "Delaware's largest law firm", so you think they'd know better. Especially in 2026, after we've seen so many of these amateur hour goofs.

Love that the law firm that took these dudes down a notch, DiBianca Law, appears to be a single woman shop.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
