## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Administrative & Public Law](https://ailawframework.com/practice/administrative-and-public-law.md) |
| Human involvement | Green: AI drafts, lawyer checks |
| How AI is used | One row per document the lawyer has marked. Columns are the date on the document, its name, and whether it is the decision, the request, or an exhibit. Do not add a document and do not say the decision is final. |
| What the lawyer must review | 5 U.S.C. § 704 is why the decision is in the bundle when the lawyer has marked it: judicial review is of final agency action. You have already chosen the documents. The index copies date, name, and the label you gave. The columns do not change from case to case. |
| Written for | United States |
| Applies to | [Assemble the decision-maker's lodgement bundle for a tribunal review](https://ailawframework.com/practice/administrative-and-public-law/assemble-the-decision-maker-s-lodgement-bundle-for-a-tribunal-review.md) |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: One row per document the lawyer has marked. Columns are the date on the document, its name, and whether it is the decision, the request, or an exhibit. Do not add a document and do not say the decision is final.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- The label is the one you marked. The index does not decide finality or an exemption.
- Section 552 timing rules are not applied in the index. They are a separate check.
