Supreme Court of Tasmania and the Tasmanian legislation site. No dedicated court AI protocol was listed for Tasmania on the Law Society of New South Wales index as at 14 May 2026.

No AI direction found as of 10 Oct 2026. No Tasmanian court AI direction found; Law Society of Tasmania article (https://lst.org.au/the-question-isnt-whether-you-used-ai-its-how-you-used-it/) discusses federal/NSW/Vic notes only.

Searches on 22 September 2026 did not surface an official Tasmanian court AI protocol. The Supreme Court site and the legislation register both responded as public pages. Use them. Do not fill the gap with a mainland precedent.

If the Court publishes a note after this page was written, the Court’s note wins.

## Key facts

- Kind: State
- Task versions written for this jurisdiction: 4
- AI instruments recorded: 22

## Summary

The Law Society of New South Wales court-protocol table, current as at 14 May 2026, did not list a generative-AI practice note for Tasmania. That is an absence in a national index, not a finding that the Supreme Court of Tasmania has nothing to say. Open the Court’s site and the Tasmanian legislation register before you file, and do not apply another state’s note as if it bound this Court.

## Jurisdiction note

The Magistrates Court and TASCAT may differ from the Supreme Court. Check the forum named on the file. No AI direction found as of 10 Oct 2026. No Tasmanian court AI direction found; Law Society of Tasmania article (https://lst.org.au/the-question-isnt-whether-you-used-ai-its-how-you-used-it/) discusses federal/NSW/Vic notes only.

## What to open first

Search the Supreme Court site first. Write down the date you searched and what you did or did not find.

## Review checklist

- Search the Supreme Court of Tasmania site for a current practice direction on generative AI and record the result.
- Do not apply SC Gen 23, SC Gen 25 or another state’s note as the rule of this Court.
- Verify legislation on the Tasmanian legislation register and cases in a trusted source.
- Keep affidavits in the witness’s words and confidential material out of public tools.
- Apply the conduct rules that attach to your Tasmanian practising certificate.

## Jurisdiction-specific considerations

- A national index can lag a new direction. Search the Court, do not stop at the index.
- Tasmanian Acts are on the Tasmanian register. A similarly named mainland Act is a different statute.
- Silence is not permission to file unverified citations.
