Lawrence Wheeler

Incidents involved as Deployer

Incident 17243 Report
Oklahoma Judge Reportedly Used ChatGPT-Generated Fictitious Case Citations in Family-Law Order

2025-11-19

Stephens County, Oklahoma, Associate District Judge Lawrence Wheeler reportedly used ChatGPT for legal research while preparing a family-law order that cited at least two nonexistent cases. The order denied a request for a psychological evaluation and reprimanded the requesting attorney; Wheeler later vacated it after the attorney challenged it before the Oklahoma Supreme Court.
