Draft the outcome letter from the findings the lawyer has signed
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- Draft the letter using only the findings the lawyer has signed, and leave a blank where the findings do not state the outcome or the next step.
- What the lawyer must review
- Check every sentence against the signed findings before the letter is sent. Do not add a reason that is not in the findings. Formal Opinion 512: you remain responsible for the letter. Model Rule 1.6: do not put the findings into a public tool. If the outcome is an employment decision covered by a federal discrimination statute, open that statute before the letter is sent.
