Compare a quoted statute in a know-how note with the official section
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- Set the quoted words beside the official section and mark every difference. Do not replace the quote until the lawyer accepts the official text.
- What the lawyer must review
- Model Rule 1.1 requires competent representation, including the legal knowledge and preparation reasonably necessary. A quoted section that has not been read on an official source fails that duty. If the same text would be presented to a court in a pleading, written motion, or other paper, Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b) is the certification, after an inquiry reasonable under the circumstances, that the legal contentions are warranted by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing law or for establishing new law. You open the current section and accept or reject the quote.
