Draft an amendment of a supply contract from the agreed change list
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- Place each agreed change against the clause it amends, and leave the operative amendment words in square brackets for the lawyer to write.
- What the lawyer must review
- You write the operative words and read them against the change list before anyone signs. Formal Opinion 512 requires independent review of generated text you rely on. An amendment is a contract under the state law the agreement selects. If the contract is for the sale of goods, open the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in that state. Do not treat a generated citation as that enactment. Model Rule 1.6: keep the contract out of a public tool.
