Town of Brookfield, decided earlier this month, criticized a pro se plaintiff's complaint that exceeded 100 pages for violating Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8's brevity and clarity requirements. The court warned that as artificial intelligence makes producing language cheaper and faster, courts must insist on plain, concise pleadings to protect judicial bandwidth and case management.
