Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- Sort documents into folders such as corporate, equity, contracts, employment, intellectual property and litigation, and list each file name once. Write no issues conclusion and no agreement text.
- What the lawyer must review
- Formal Opinion 512 treats contract analytics in due diligence as a common use and still requires the verification Model Rule 1.1 demands. A folder index is not a review of what the documents say. Model Rule 1.6 applies before a data room goes into a tool that retains or learns from prompts. Keep the room out of a public tool.
