- You check every sentence before the paper is filed. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11: by presenting a paper you certify, after a reasonable inquiry, that it is not for an improper purpose, that the legal contentions are warranted by existing law or a nonfrivolous argument, and that the factual contentions have evidentiary support or are specifically identified as likely to have it. You read Rule 11(b)(4) before you sign. There is no national unfair-dismissal jurisdiction. The statute you rely on is one you have opened. Formal Opinion 512: you remain responsible for the paper.
