Prepare a defamation complaint, answer or particulars of publication
Key facts
- Human involvement
- RedLawyer-led
- How AI is used
- Index the capture, the meanings list and the defences table. Write no allegation, denial or prayer.
- What the lawyer must review
- You write the pleading and, in federal court, you certify it under Rule 11 after an inquiry reasonable under the circumstances. The elements are state law, read with Sullivan, Gertz and Milkovich. California Civil Code § 45 is the libel definition if California law applies. Section 230 is pleaded only if you have decided it applies to a defendant who did not create the statement. Opinion 512 and California's 2026 guidance: you verify every citation before filing.
