List generative-tool use in a tribunal document before it is filed
Key facts
- Human involvement
- RedLawyer-led
- How AI is used
- List each passage the file marks as tool-generated and each citation in that passage. Mark a citation that has not been opened. Write no sentence of the tribunal document and no disclosure paragraph.
- What the lawyer must review
- If the document is filed in federal court, Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 is the signature certification and Model Rule 3.3 is the candor rule. Formal Opinion 512 requires the lawyer to review analysis and citations, and to correct errors, before a court submission. Model Rule 1.1 Comment 8 is the duty to understand the technology. You write any disclosure the forum requires. No judge's standing order was opened.

Who does what
| Role | What they do |
|---|---|
| Assistance | Supporting preparation only. Consider narrowly defined preparation support after confirming the tool’s capability and permitted scope. The tool writes nothing into the document. Substantive advice, judgement and any restricted content remain with the responsible human. |
| Lawyer | Perform the substantive analysis and decisions. Independently check any permitted supporting work and approve the exact output for its intended use. |
Checklist
- Open each relied-on authority independently. Confirm its existence, current status, proposition and any quotation or pinpoint reference.
- Check the current court or regulator requirements, prescribed form and attachments for the intended document and filing.
- 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.
