- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer decides whether an order is necessary, on which ground, for how long, and whether it should apply outside New South Wales, and writes the application and the order. The court must specify the ground. The order should last no longer than reasonably necessary.

Who does what
| Role | What they do |
|---|---|
| Assistance | Supporting preparation only. Against each section 8 ground, list the facts from the brief that the lawyer has marked as possibly relevant, and note the open-justice objective. Do not write the application, the proposed order, or a submission. The tool writes nothing into the document. Substantive advice, judgement and any restricted content remain with the responsible human. |
| Lawyer | Perform the substantive analysis and decisions. Independently check any permitted supporting work and approve the exact output for its intended use. |
Checklist
- Confirm the draft order specifies a section 8 ground and the open-justice objective. The lawyer writes that draft.
- Confirm the duration is no longer than the purpose requires, and that any operation outside New South Wales is justified separately.
- Confirm no generated sentence is in the filed application.
