## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Immigration & Migration Law](https://ailawframework.com/practice/immigration-and-migration-law.md) |
| Human involvement | Red: Lawyer writes; AI may check, clarify or collect data |
| How AI is used | The tool writes no part of the client’s declaration — no draft, no first draft, no scaffold, no suggested paragraphs — because the declaration records the client’s own account and the client declares it to be true. From the approved facts it may build the interview-question list and list the inconsistencies across the file, each one set beside the document it comes from. Against the declaration the lawyer has taken from the client, index the annexures and list every assertion with no source on the file. |
| What the lawyer must review | Keep the client's words as the client's Remove anything the file does not support Never put identifying facts into a public tool |
| Written for / versions | 1 jurisdiction versions below |

## Checking plan

The client's words stay the client's. Remove anything the file does not support. Never put identifying facts into a public tool.

- What the AI does: The tool writes no part of the client’s declaration. From the approved facts it builds the interview-question list and lists the inconsistencies across the file, each set beside its source document.
- What the lawyer does: Set the scope, verify the evidence, resolve exceptions and approve the final output for its intended use.
- Basis: Suggested checking approach based on the task guidance. Complete the assessment for the actual tool, information and jurisdiction.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Confirm the output against the client’s instructions and the complete relevant source material, including omissions or contradictions.
2. Verify every relied-on citation, figure and name against the source document.
3. The responsible lawyer approves the exact version before use.
