## 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 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. |
| Written for | United States |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: 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.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- Do not call the document a complaint unless the rules use that word. International cases often use a memorial; domestic institutional rules often use a demand or statement of claim.
- Witness statements are not part of this task. The tool writes none of them.
