- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- Compare the final contract with the change list the lawyer supplies, and mark each agreed change as present, missing or worded differently, with the final words beside the agreed words.
- What the lawyer must review
- Accept or reject every mark before the contract is treated as conforming. Formal Opinion 512: do not rely on a generated comparison you have not checked. A match of words is not a statement that the clause is enforceable under the governing law. Model Rule 1.6: keep the draft and the change list out of a public tool.
