According to the order, the judges found Aarons to be in direct contempt of court, referred him to the Disciplinary Board for further consideration, and barred from appearing before the court pending the outcome of the board’s investigation. They also threw him off the case in question and assigned a public defender to his former client.
If they don't feel the consequences themselves, lawyers will just continue to use LLMs to do their research.
This is another example why we need LLMs to be required to cite sources.
Or just ban LLMs from use in anything except recreational contexts at most.
