| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | From the file, list each accused, the next known public court or parole proceeding, and any release or escape notice already received. Do not enrol the person on a state register. |
| What the lawyer must review | 18 U.S.C. § 3771(a)(2) gives a crime victim the right to reasonable, accurate, and timely notice of any public court proceeding, or any parole proceeding, involving the crime, or of any release or escape of the accused. Subsection (c)(3) says notice of release otherwise required shall not be given if such notice may endanger the safety of any person. Officers and employees engaged in the detection, investigation, or prosecution of crime shall make their best efforts to see that victims are notified of and accorded the rights in subsection (a). You confirm the person is a crime victim under the section and whether a safety limit on notice applies. 34 U.S.C. § 20102 is the compensation-grant statute and does not create this notice right. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: From the file, list each accused, the next known public court or parole proceeding, and any release or escape notice already received. Do not enrol the person on a state register.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- The right is in a federal criminal case. A state prosecution uses that state's victim-notice statute, which was not opened.
- Subsection (a)(10) points to services in 42 U.S.C. § 10607(c). That section was not opened.
