## 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 | For each exhibit the lawyer marks, produce a reading text in English and keep the original-language sentence beside it, with the exhibit number and page. Label the text as an unchecked reading aid. |
| What the lawyer must review | No statute opened for this version certifies a translation or makes a machine translation admissible. Model Rule 1.1 requires the competence reasonably necessary for the representation, which includes not treating an unchecked rendering as the exhibit. Formal Opinion 512: a generative tool can produce fluent text that is wrong. The lawyer, or a translator the lawyer retains, checks any sentence that will be used. Rule 1.6 keeps the exhibits in a confidential tool. A translation that will be lodged is not this reading aid. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: For each exhibit the lawyer marks, produce a reading text in English and keep the original-language sentence beside it, with the exhibit number and page. Label the text as an unchecked reading aid.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- Do not describe the reading aid as a certified translation. No certification rule was opened.
- The tribunal’s language is what the arbitration agreement or a procedural order says. Neither was supplied by a statute.
