Judge entries are fixture placeholders, not real appointments. They exist so the judge-level facet has something to resolve against; replace them with real judges before this registry is used for published content.

Ninth Circuit adopts circuit-wide certification that every cited authority was checked against a primary source

The Ninth Circuit adopted a circuit-wide rule requiring counsel to certify that every authority cited in a brief has been checked against a primary source. The rule does not require disclosure of AI use. Judges may strike a brief and order re-filing at counsel's expense. The court said it chose verification over disclosure because the risk is unverified content, not the tool.
