It also noted that numerous out-of-state and federal courts have confronted attorneys for citing fake legal authority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The opinion from California’s 2nd District Court of Appeal is a clear example of why the state’s legal authorities are scrambling to regulate the use of AI in the judiciary. Earlier this month, the state’s Judicial Council \u003ca href=\"https://courts.ca.gov/cms/rules/index/standards/Standard10_80\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">issued guidelines requiring judges and court staff\u003c/a> to either ban generative AI or adopt a generative AI use policy by Dec. 15. Meanwhile, the California Bar Association is considering whether to strengthen its code of conduct to account for various forms of AI following a request by the California Supreme Court last month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Los Angeles-area attorney who was fined, Amir Mostafavi, told the court that he did not read text generated by the AI model before submitting the appeal in July 2023, months after OpenAI marketed ChatGPT as capable of \u003ca href=\"https://law.stanford.edu/2023/04/19/gpt-4-passes-the-bar-exam-what-that-means-for-artificial-intelligence-tools-in-the-legal-industry/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">passing the bar exam\u003c/a>. A three-judge panel fined him for filing a frivolous appeal, violating court rules, citing fake cases, and wasting the court’s time and the taxpayers money, according to the opinion. Mostafavi told CalMatters he wrote the appeal and then used ChatGPT to try and improve it. He said that he didn’t know it would add case citations or make things up. He thinks it is unrealistic to expect lawyers to stop using AI. It’s become an important tool just as online databases largely replaced law libraries and, until AI systems stop hallucinating fake information, he suggests lawyers who use AI to proceed with caution.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Mostafavi told CalMatters he wrote the appeal and then used ChatGPT to try and improve it. He said that he didn’t know it would add case citations or make things up. He thinks it is unrealistic to expect lawyers to stop using AI.

DHS is also offering signing bonuses of $50,000, student loan repayment and starting salaries as high as $80,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These posts have millions of views on social media platforms like X. Experts who study extremist groups are flagging them as dangerous. Pete Simi is a sociologist at Chapman University who has been studying extremist groups and violence for more than 25 years. “Propaganda is an art,” he said. “It’s a very powerful way of communicating and it typically obscures the truth. When it’s done effectively, it makes it hard to call it out.” Ambiguity plays a major role in white supremacist messaging because it allows whoever posts hateful rhetoric to hide behind plausible deniability, Simi said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simi went on to say that someone who isn’t versed in far-right extremist culture will see an image of Uncle Sam and won’t think twice about it. But the posts DHS is using to recruit ICE agents can be interpreted through a white nationalist lens. For example, the caption on the post showing settlers expanding westward, the words heritage and homeland are capitalized. “In white supremacist circles, H.H. stands for Heil Hitler,” Simi said. Also, the caption contains exactly 14 words, which is a symbolically significant number for people who follow that ideology. White nationalists use messaging with 14 words as a hidden reference to a famous phrase from the 1980s: “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It became one of the most central slogans among white supremacists,” Simi said. “They reference it in everything from tattoos, to t-shirts, to emails. It’s just ubiquitous among these folks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Former DACA Recipient Dies While In ICE Custody\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A 39-year-old man has died after being held at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Adelanto in San Bernardino County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to \u003ca href=\"https://www.ice.gov/news/releases/mexican-national-dies-ice-custody-after-being-referred-local-hospital-day-prior\">a statement from ICE\u003c/a>, Ismael Ayala-Uribe died Sunday after being transferred to a local hospital. The cause of death is still under investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ayala-Uribe applied for, and received, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA status in 2012.

DHS is also offering signing bonuses of $50,000, student loan repayment and starting salaries as high as $80,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These posts have millions of views on social media platforms like X. Experts who study extremist groups are flagging them as dangerous. Pete Simi is a sociologist at Chapman University who has been studying extremist groups and violence for more than 25 years. “Propaganda is an art,” he said. “It’s a very powerful way of communicating and it typically obscures the truth. When it’s done effectively, it makes it hard to call it out.” Ambiguity plays a major role in white supremacist messaging because it allows whoever posts hateful rhetoric to hide behind plausible deniability, Simi said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simi went on to say that someone who isn’t versed in far-right extremist culture will see an image of Uncle Sam and won’t think twice about it. But the posts DHS is using to recruit ICE agents can be interpreted through a white nationalist lens. For example, the caption on the post showing settlers expanding westward, the words heritage and homeland are capitalized. “In white supremacist circles, H.H. stands for Heil Hitler,” Simi said. Also, the caption contains exactly 14 words, which is a symbolically significant number for people who follow that ideology. White nationalists use messaging with 14 words as a hidden reference to a famous phrase from the 1980s: “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Now The Agency’s Copied It\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>For years, the California Department of Motor Vehicles has been keeping profits from the sales of towed cars, without giving the owners much of a chance to claim money that’s rightfully theirs. That’s changing, thanks to \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/california-divide/2025/03/dmv-towed-car/\">a CalMatters investigation.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state DMV is now offering a lookup tool on its website, allowing people to see if the DMV owes them money from what’s known as a lien sale. The tool is nearly identical to the one CalMatters created for \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/california-divide/2025/03/dmv-towed-car/\">a story\u003c/a> in March.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By law, towing companies, storage yards and car repair shops can sell your car to recoup their costs if you do not pick up your vehicle. It’s known as a lien sale. For poor Californians, the tows and compounding fees are often a trap. Police can tow your car for things like \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?sectionNum=22651&lawCode=VEH\">expired registration\u003c/a>, but you might not be able to get it back if you can’t renew your registration because you have unpaid fees and fines from things like traffic and parking tickets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lien sales have to be approved by the DMV, and any money leftover is supposed to go to the agency. Typically, lien sales end in debt. However, CalMatters found that the DMV collected more than $8 million from nearly 5,300 cars sold at auction between 2016 through the fall of 2024. Owners are entitled to that surplus, and have up to three years to claim it. But the agency does not notify owners of the refunds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When CalMatters first story ran, the DMV said that it wasn’t required to notify people of their refunds, and there was no mention of how people could claim their lien sale refunds. Now, in addition to \u003ca href=\"https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/lien-sale-excess-fees-lookup/\">the lookup tool\u003c/a>, there’s a list of \u003ca href=\"https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/driver-education-and-safety/educational-materials/how-tos/lien-sales-frequently-asked-questions/\">frequently asked questions\u003c/a> and instructions on exactly how to claim refunds. The DMV also said it had sent more than $5,000 to a family after admitting it erroneously denied the refund request of Stephen McAllister, who was featured in the CalMatters investigation. “I think there’s a lot of people in this same situation, and that money means a lot to them,” McAllister said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"entry-title \">\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/2025/09/ucla-research-grants/\">\u003cstrong>Federal Judge Orders 500 Health Science Grants At UCLA Restored\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A federal judge in California has \u003ca href=\"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.450653/gov.uscourts.cand.450653.134.0.pdf\">ordered\u003c/a> the Trump administration to restore 500 National Institutes of Health grants that it suspended at UCLA in July over accusations the campus tolerates antisemitism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Judge Rita Lin’s \u003ca href=\"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.450653/gov.uscourts.cand.450653.133.0.pdf\">decision\u003c/a> provides researchers at the university a major respite as UCLA and University of California leaders contend with Trump’s demands for a $1.2 billion settlement over a litany of accusations, including that the campus permits antisemitism. It’s a claim that more than \u003ca href=\"https://sites.google.com/view/jewsforuc\">600 Jewish members\u003c/a> of the University of California community in a public letter say is “misguided and punitive.” Meanwhile, UCLA’s leadership highlighted its efforts to \u003ca href=\"https://chancellor.ucla.edu/messages/the-loss-of-federal-funding-is-a-loss-for-america\">combat antisemitism \u003c/a>days before Trump’s settlement demands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lin’s decision follows her string of orders since June that have restored hundreds of other UC research grants from multiple agencies. Her injunction is preliminary; the trial is ongoing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The science grants pay for research into life-saving drugs, dementia, heart disease in rural areas, robotics education and a whole gamut of science inquiries across the country. They help fuel the country’s research enterprise and are the top source of federal research grants at the UC. The UC system has battled the Trump administration over various efforts to slash its funding \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/2025/03/university-of-california/\">since President Donald Trump’s second term began\u003c/a>. The science funding is also a key source of income and training for graduate students, who are the next generation of publicly funded academics.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Tulare County Looks To Reforms Amid Sexual Harassment Allegations\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The Tulare County Public Defender’s Office has agreed to overhaul an alleged culture of sexual harassment among employees, under the \u003ca href=\"https://calcivilrights.ca.gov/2025/09/22/tulare-county-public-defenders-office-to-pay-200k-in-settlement-over-allegations-of-unchecked-workplace-sexual-harassment/\">terms of a deal announced Monday.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the agreement, the Tulare County Public Defender’s Office will pay $200,000 to an employee who claimed in 2024 that a supervisor sexually harassed them, physically and verbally, for years. The complaint also alleged that there was an openly tolerated culture of workplace misconduct, including an instance of a senior official engaging in inappropriate conduct in front of dozens of staff at an office holiday party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The office also agreed to survey and train its staff, and be monitored by the California Civil Rights Department, which mediated the deal. In a statement, a spokesman for Tulare County said it’s committed to fostering quality workplaces, and that settling the disputed claim is the most practical way forward to avoid the expense of litigation.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Now The Agency’s Copied It\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>For years, the California Department of Motor Vehicles has been keeping profits from the sales of towed cars, without giving the owners much of a chance to claim money that’s rightfully theirs. That’s changing, thanks to \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/california-divide/2025/03/dmv-towed-car/\">a CalMatters investigation.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state DMV is now offering a lookup tool on its website, allowing people to see if the DMV owes them money from what’s known as a lien sale. The tool is nearly identical to the one CalMatters created for \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/california-divide/2025/03/dmv-towed-car/\">a story\u003c/a> in March.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By law, towing companies, storage yards and car repair shops can sell your car to recoup their costs if you do not pick up your vehicle. It’s known as a lien sale. For poor Californians, the tows and compounding fees are often a trap. Police can tow your car for things like \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?sectionNum=22651&lawCode=VEH\">expired registration\u003c/a>, but you might not be able to get it back if you can’t renew your registration because you have unpaid fees and fines from things like traffic and parking tickets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lien sales have to be approved by the DMV, and any money leftover is supposed to go to the agency. Typically, lien sales end in debt. However, CalMatters found that the DMV collected more than $8 million from nearly 5,300 cars sold at auction between 2016 through the fall of 2024. Owners are entitled to that surplus, and have up to three years to claim it. But the agency does not notify owners of the refunds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Now, in addition to \u003ca href=\"https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/lien-sale-excess-fees-lookup/\">the lookup tool\u003c/a>, there’s a list of \u003ca href=\"https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/driver-education-and-safety/educational-materials/how-tos/lien-sales-frequently-asked-questions/\">frequently asked questions\u003c/a> and instructions on exactly how to claim refunds. The DMV also said it had sent more than $5,000 to a family after admitting it erroneously denied the refund request of Stephen McAllister, who was featured in the CalMatters investigation. “I think there’s a lot of people in this same situation, and that money means a lot to them,” McAllister said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"entry-title \">\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/2025/09/ucla-research-grants/\">\u003cstrong>Federal Judge Orders 500 Health Science Grants At UCLA Restored\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A federal judge in California has \u003ca href=\"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.450653/gov.uscourts.cand.450653.134.0.pdf\">ordered\u003c/a> the Trump administration to restore 500 National Institutes of Health grants that it suspended at UCLA in July over accusations the campus tolerates antisemitism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Judge Rita Lin’s \u003ca href=\"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.450653/gov.uscourts.cand.450653.133.0.pdf\">decision\u003c/a> provides researchers at the university a major respite as UCLA and University of California leaders contend with Trump’s demands for a $1.2 billion settlement over a litany of accusations, including that the campus permits antisemitism.

Her injunction is preliminary; the trial is ongoing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The science grants pay for research into life-saving drugs, dementia, heart disease in rural areas, robotics education and a whole gamut of science inquiries across the country. They help fuel the country’s research enterprise and are the top source of federal research grants at the UC. The UC system has battled the Trump administration over various efforts to slash its funding \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/2025/03/university-of-california/\">since President Donald Trump’s second term began\u003c/a>.

People who work outside, like farm and construction workers, are especially at risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jessica Bader, though, doesn’t work outside. She and her husband Brian Bader live with their two children in Paso Robles, on the southern end of the Salinas Valley. Late last year, Jessica started feeling sick with symptoms similar to the flu or COVID-19, but she tested negative. Her doctor gave her antibiotics for pneumonia, but she kept getting worse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seven months pregnant on New Year’s Eve, she rushed to the emergency room. By the time she was diagnosed with Valley Fever, the infection had spread to her spinal cord and brain, a form of the illness called cocci meningitis. Bader survived, and she now takes a powerful anti-fungal every day to keep the disease at bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most cases are so mild they don’t require any treatment at all. But anyone who inhales the spores can get a severe infection.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/article>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He said people in the crowd responded by hurling back water bottles and fireworks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tran turned to leave. Then, “ I feel this like sensation, like I got punched really hard in the jaw,” Tran said. He had been hit in the face with a less-lethal projectile. The impact left a deep gash on Tran’s chin.

They did so by passing Assembly Bill 48, a 2021 law that bans the indiscriminate use of force against civilians at protests. Law enforcement agencies now have to take several steps including de-escalation tactics like dispersal orders before they can use these military equipment such as foam bullets and tear gas. And the law says “projectiles shall not be aimed at the head, neck, or any other vital organs.” The law also requires agencies to make public reports about their use of force at protests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Ana said in a June news release that officers responded to the protests on June 9 and the following days “in strict accordance with the law.” But Tran and other protestors say Santa Ana Police broke the law during those protests.

He \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2025/09/11/nx-s1-5535632/the-music-of-latin-jazz-pioneers-lives-on-through-sheet-music-from-a-small-publisher\">joined a mariachi band\u003c/a> in high school, studied jazz in college and in the 1980s, became a high school music teacher. It was then that he heard something that changed his life. “I go, whoa. This is cool. I love this,” when he heard Eddie Palmieri. “I was thinking to myself, man, I think the kids would really like playing this stuff.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But very little sheet music was available to help his students learn. Pioneers who were performing Latin jazz typically weren’t sharing their sheet music beyond their bands. That left students and musicians outside of major jazz scenes without an easy way to learn the music. So Alcala started \u003ca href=\"https://3-2music.com/\">a sheet music publishing company \u003c/a>and set out on a painstaking task. “I had to do all the transcribing myself from records I used to listen to,” he said. He’d literally write down the musical arrangements he heard note by note, sometimes for 10 or 15 different instruments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He reached out to some of the biggest performers, telling them about teaching Latin jazz at a Roosevelt High School in Fresno, and wanting to get the arrangements for his students. Now, Alcala and his publishing company 3-2 Music Publishing publishes sheet music by more than 70 Latin jazz composers and pays them royalties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Military bands and especially school bands are his biggest customers, including the jazz orchestra at Fresno State University. “Japan buys a lot of music from me. Germany loves Latin jazz, Austria,” Alcala said. And Latin jazz experts said that by giving more students access to this music, Alcala and his business have helped popularize it around the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12055907/california-lawmakers-will-vote-on-extending-the-cap-and-trade-program-and-boosting-grid-reliability\">\u003cstrong>California Extends Cap-And-Trade Program Aimed At Advancing State Climate Goals\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>California will extend a key climate program under a bill state lawmakers passed Saturday, sending the measure to Gov.
