An Arizona federal court issued extensive sanctions against attorney Maren Bam on August 14, 2025, after finding that her brief contained multiple artificial intelligence-generated citations to non-existent cases. The sanctions include revocation of pro hac vice status, striking the brief, and mandatory notification to state bar authorities.

A pro hac vice appearance is a legal practice that allows an attorney, who is licensed in one jurisdiction, to represent a client in a specific case in a different jurisdiction where they are not licensed to practice. The Latin means roughly "for this time only"

Basically the judge kicked him out of the case.
