## Checking plan

**Lawyer review required**

The responsible lawyer reviews the work against the instructions, sources and intended use.

- What the AI does: From the list of non-party documents needed, populate the court’s subpoena request data and draft schedules from the firm’s validated template, and maintain a tracker of each subpoena: addressee, date issued, served on the addressee, served on each other party, return date, production and access.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer settles each schedule so the documents are described with reasonable particularity, confirms service on each other party, and manages access to and use of produced material.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Confirm the material (including produced and subpoenaed documents subject to the implied undertaking or any confidentiality order) may go into the tool before it is used.
2. Read each schedule for particularity before it is filed.
3. Check service on each other party against the tracker.
4. Confirm access to produced material follows the court’s procedure.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
