Florida's Fourth District refers lawyer to the Florida Bar over suspected AI-generated filings
Florida's Fourth District Court of Appeal has referred lawyer Jaclyn R. Soroka to the Florida Bar after rejecting her 82-page response to an order to show cause over frivolous filings in a family-law case. In an October 21, 2026 order, the court said the response "does not deny using AI but evades the issue." Soroka has said she did not use AI and that a citation review found two human errors.
