Record the United States Code title and section a precedent relies on
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- Enter the title and section only from a page that was opened, with the URL and the date. Leave the cell blank if the section was not opened.
- What the lawyer must review
- Model Rule 1.1 requires the legal knowledge and preparation reasonably necessary for the representation. Recording a citation that was not read does not meet that duty. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)(2) is the further certification if the citation is later presented to a court. You confirm that the recorded section is the one the precedent uses and that it is still the current text.
