Check citations in a rural-dispute paper produced with a tool
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- List each citation and whether the text was opened. List each factual sentence that has no record beside it. Do not rewrite the paper.
- What the lawyer must review
- If the paper is filed in federal court, Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 is the signature certification. Model Rule 3.3 requires candor toward the tribunal. Formal Opinion 512 requires review of analysis and citations, and correction of errors, before submission. The review happens on each paper. It is not finished by setting up the tool.
