## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Arbitration & Alternative Dispute Resolution](https://ailawframework.com/practice/arbitration-and-alternative-dispute-resolution.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | From the tool log and the engagement letter, list the tasks for which a tool was used and whether the letter mentions that use. Do not write the disclosure. |
| What the lawyer must review | No statute opened for this version requires a lawyer to file a generative-tool disclosure with an arbitrator. Formal Opinion 512 addresses the lawyer’s competence under Rule 1.1 and confidentiality under Rule 1.6 when the lawyer uses a generative tool, and it discusses telling the client about that use. The lawyer decides whether the arbitration agreement, a procedural order, or a question from the tribunal calls for a disclosure, and the lawyer writes any disclosure that is sent. A disclosure filed in a district court is certified under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b). |

## Checking plan
