## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Commercial Litigation & Dispute Resolution](https://ailawframework.com/practice/commercial-litigation-and-dispute-resolution.md) |
| Human involvement | Red: Lawyer writes; AI may check, clarify or collect data |
| How AI is used | From the order the lawyer supplies, list each command as printed, the person named, and the date printed. Do not add a step the order does not contain and do not rewrite the command. |
| What the lawyer must review | The order is the source of the obligation. ABA Model Rule 1.1 requires the lawyer to bring the legal knowledge, skill, thoroughness, and preparation reasonably necessary to read it. ABA Formal Opinion 512 (29 July 2024) leaves the lawyer responsible for output produced with a generative tool. The list is a working paper. It is not a substitute for the order, and it is not a request to amend the order. The lawyer checks every row against the signed text before anyone acts on it. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: From the order the lawyer supplies, list each command as printed, the person named, and the date printed. Do not add a step the order does not contain and do not rewrite the command.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- A date the tool infers is not a date in the order. If the order states no date, the row says so.
- State-court orders and agency orders are read under their own rules. This list does not translate them into the Federal Rules.
