| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | From the record the lawyer has marked, list the Rule 803(6) conditions and leave each one blank: made at or near the time by, or from information transmitted by, someone with knowledge; kept in the course of a regularly conducted activity of a business, organization, occupation, or calling, whether or not for profit; making the record was a regular practice of that activity; the conditions are shown by the custodian or another qualified witness, or by a certification that complies with Rule 902(11) or (12) or a statute permitting certification; and the opponent does not show that the source or the method or circumstances of preparation indicate a lack of trustworthiness. Do not decide that the record is admissible. Do not prepare the certification. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides whether the exception is met. Federal Rule of Evidence 803(6) is the hearsay exception for a record of an act, event, condition, opinion, or diagnosis if those five conditions are met. The certification cross-references were not opened beyond Rule 902's electronic routes, so no certification is drafted. Rule 802 still bars hearsay unless a statute, these rules, or another Supreme Court rule provides otherwise. The tool does not decide admission. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: From the record the lawyer has marked, list the Rule 803(6) conditions and leave each one blank: made at or near the time by, or from information transmitted by, someone with knowledge; kept in the course of a regularly conducted activity of a business, organization, occupation, or calling, whether or not for profit; making the record was a regular practice of that activity; the conditions are shown by the custodian or another qualified witness, or by a certification that complies with Rule 902(11) or (12) or a statute permitting certification; and the opponent does not show that the source or the method or circumstances of preparation indicate a lack of trustworthiness. Do not decide that the record is admissible. Do not prepare the certification.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- Do not treat a business record as admissible just because it looks regular. The opponent can still show a lack of trustworthiness.
- A certification route is named in the rule. The tool does not write the certificate.
