## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [In-House / General Counsel](https://ailawframework.com/practice/in-house-general-counsel.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | Turn the items the lawyer pastes into a digest with the citation, the date, and the business unit the lawyer names. Do not add a legal change the lawyer did not supply and do not state what the business must do. |
| What the lawyer must review | ABA Model Rule 1.1 requires the lawyer to provide the legal knowledge and preparation reasonably necessary before a change is described to the business. ABA Formal Opinion 512 (29 July 2024) leaves the lawyer responsible for text produced with a generative tool. The digest is an arrangement of items the lawyer has already selected. It is not a search for new law and it is not advice. The lawyer decides what, if anything, is sent to the business. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: Turn the items the lawyer pastes into a digest with the citation, the date, and the business unit the lawyer names. Do not add a legal change the lawyer did not supply and do not state what the business must do.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- If the lawyer supplies no item, the digest is empty. The tool does not fill it from memory.
- A citation in the digest is not verified until the lawyer checks it against the instrument.
