Record that no court order on tools was in the sources opened
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- Name the court the file identifies. Record that this check opened no order of that court about generative tools. List the citations in the draft that still need a source. Do not assume an order exists or does not exist.
- What the lawyer must review
- You check the court's current orders yourself. Model Rule 3.3 and Formal Opinion 512 still apply to anything you hand up, whether or not the court has a separate order. Comment 8 to Rule 1.1 includes technology in competence. An assumption that a court has no direction, or that it has one, is not a finding of this check. The opened sources do not include a practice direction.
