Draft the memorial or statement of claim from the evidence index
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- From the evidence index the lawyer has approved, produce a claim outline with each factual sentence tied to an exhibit. The lawyer writes the memorial that is served.
- What the lawyer must review
- The memorial is not a federal complaint, but any later court paper that repeats it is certified under Rule 11. Formal Opinion 512: uncritical reliance on generated authorities fails the competence duty in Rule 1.1. The agreement to arbitrate is the § 2 question; the contents of the memorial are the parties’ rules. The lawyer opens every authority in a reporter before it stays in the document.
