- One row per filing, notice, or exhibit. Columns are the date on the document, the name, and the page count. Do not describe what the hearing should decide.
- What the lawyer must review
- 5 U.S.C. § 554 applies to an adjudication required by statute to be determined on the record after an agency hearing, subject to the exclusions in § 554(a). Section 554(b) requires notice of the time, place, and nature of the hearing, the legal authority, and the matters of fact and law. Section 554(c) gives an opportunity to submit facts and arguments and, where the parties cannot settle, a hearing under §§ 556 and 557. You decide whether § 554 applies. The list is an index.

- Open each relied-on authority independently. Confirm its existence, current status, proposition and any quotation or pinpoint reference.
- Verify dates, people and sequence against contemporaneous records. Preserve uncertainty and identify gaps or conflicting accounts.
- Verify the applicable jurisdiction and the version of each relevant law, rule or instrument in force at the material time.
- Confirm the output against the client’s instructions and the complete relevant source material, including omissions or contradictions.
- Resolve exceptions and record the responsible lawyer’s approval of the exact output and intended use.
