## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Personal Injury & Compensation (workers compensation, CTP/TAC, medical negligence)](https://ailawframework.com/practice/personal-injury-and-compensation.md) |
| Human involvement | Red: Lawyer writes; AI may check, clarify or collect data |
| How AI is used | Columns are how the file describes the minor or the person with a disability, the amount printed, and the representative named, or a blank if none is named. Write no sentence of an approval application. |
| What the lawyer must review | California Probate Code § 3600 states when that chapter applies: a court approves a compromise of a minor's disputed claim, approves a compromise of a pending action to which a minor or a person with a disability is a party, or gives judgment for that person, and the compromise, covenant, or judgment provides for payment of money or other property for that person's benefit. The section does not state the standard for approval. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 17(c) says who may sue or defend for a minor or an incompetent person. If that person has no duly appointed representative, the court must appoint a guardian ad litem or issue another appropriate order. Rule 17(c) is not a settlement-approval rule. You write the papers. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: Columns are how the file describes the minor or the person with a disability, the amount printed, and the representative named, or a blank if none is named. Write no sentence of an approval application.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- Do not say every state requires court approval. Only section 3600 was opened, and it is California.
- Do not draft the application or a declaration. The statutory form of evidence was not used.
