This week on the Weekly Docket, join Phil and Chris as they analyze the "Big Tobacco" moment for tech giants like Meta, TikTok, and YouTube. They explore the landmark bellwether trials targeting addictive product designs and the shifting legal landscape as judges rule that Section 230 might no longer shield platforms from claims of predatory engineering. The duo also provides practical real estate advice on drafting contract amendments, highlighting the dangers of conflicting provisions that cause title company confusion and unnecessary expenses. Finally, they dive into a series of shocking 2025 and 2026 sanctions against attorneys who submitted fabricated AI "hallucinations" to federal courts, including one egregious case where 21 out of 23 cited authorities were entirely invented by ChatGPT.
