## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Criminal Law](https://ailawframework.com/practice/criminal-law.md) |
| Human involvement | Red: Lawyer writes; AI may check, clarify or collect data |
| How AI is used | List each citation and each factual sentence in the draft that is not tied to a source the lawyer supplies. Do not rewrite the filing. |
| What the lawyer must review | You write the filing. Model Rule 3.3 is the duty of candor. Formal Opinion 512 warns against a citation or a fact you have not checked. No court's practice note on generative tools was opened. You open the note of the court that will receive the paper before you file. Comment 8 to Rule 1.1 requires that competence with the tool. A sentence that is not in a source you supply does not go in the paper. |
