What this means for lawyers
In the federal District of Kansas, you must review and verify all AI-drafted or AI-assisted content in a filing (citations, quotations, paraphrased assertions, legal analysis, factual and procedural background), and may be sanctioned, including referral to disciplinary authorities, if you do not.
In Shawnee County District Court, if any part of a filing was drafted with generative AI, you must check it against print reporters, traditional legal databases or other reliable means, and mark the first page with a written disclosure and certification that it was checked. Effective 14 June 2024.
