is this a ChatGPT/AI thing? I recently had to call out two co-authors for sending me an Introduction section clearly written by AI that just said things like [REFS]

Haha, no, I was definitely in law school before ChatGPT. Maybe AI does it too but I know a lot of writers who use bracketed text as a placeholder.

No, it’s just human error. Sometimes when you’re in the middle of writing a brief, you don’t want to stop and look up a specific cite, so you leave a placeholder to enter later. Every lawyer does it, but 99% get caught before filing.
