This is general information about using AI in legal work in Australia. It is not legal advice, and it is not a decision on your matter, your client or your court.

## Notes

- [Check AI-assisted legal work before you rely on it](https://ailawframework.com/knowledge-management/know-how/verify-ai-legal-output.md) (Verification checklist): Read the output against the instructions, open the sources, and write down what you checked.
- [Check every citation an AI tool gives you](https://ailawframework.com/knowledge-management/know-how/check-ai-citations.md) (Citation check): Take each citation out of the draft, open the primary source, and remove anything you cannot find.
- [Confidentiality before you paste into an AI tool](https://ailawframework.com/knowledge-management/know-how/confidentiality-before-you-paste.md) (Confidentiality): Name the tool and the plan, and do not paste client material into a tool whose terms you cannot explain.
- [What to cover when you tell a client an AI tool was used](https://ailawframework.com/knowledge-management/know-how/telling-a-client-you-used-ai.md) (Client disclosure): Say what the tool did, what it did not do, what information went into it, and who checked the output.
- [A prompt that worked is not the work](https://ailawframework.com/knowledge-management/know-how/a-prompt-is-not-the-work.md) (Lesson): Save the prompt and what you still had to fix. A prompt is not a precedent and it is not a check.
- [A court AI rule does not travel with the file](https://ailawframework.com/knowledge-management/know-how/forum-rules-are-not-interchangeable.md) (Lesson): Read the instrument for the forum on this file. A note for another court is not the rule.
