## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Commercial & Corporate Advisory (contracts, company law, governance)](https://ailawframework.com/practice/commercial-and-corporate-advisory.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | From the minute book and the meetings and written consents in the file, list any meeting of stockholders or directors whose proceedings are not recorded in a book kept for that purpose, and any director consent under § 141(f) that is not filed with the minutes. Do not rewrite the minutes. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides whether the record meets § 142(a), which requires one officer to have the duty to record proceedings of meetings of stockholders and directors, and whether written consents are filed with the minutes as § 141(f) requires. Section 224 allows the book to be kept in an information-storage form that can be converted into clearly legible paper within a reasonable time. The lawyer decides who that officer is under the bylaws. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: From the minute book and the meetings and written consents in the file, list any meeting of stockholders or directors whose proceedings are not recorded in a book kept for that purpose, and any director consent under § 141(f) that is not filed with the minutes. Do not rewrite the minutes.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- Sections 142 and 141(f) do not state a one-month recording deadline or a required signatory. Do not import one from another jurisdiction.
- The bylaws name the officer who keeps the book. The statute only requires that one officer have the duty.
