| Practice area | [Victims of Crime Support & Compensation](https://ailawframework.com/practice/victims-of-crime-support-and-compensation.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | Working with the lawyer from the register, the record index and the expenses schedule, complete the scheme's application fields for the client's details, the support sought and the documents attached. The tool writes nothing about what happened to the client. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer confirms the scheme and category, checks every field against the documents, inserts the client's own account as the client gives it, and confirms the client approves the application. |
| Written for / versions | 1 jurisdiction versions below |

## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

Trace relied-on content to independent sources and check for relevant material the output has missed.

- What the AI does: Working with the lawyer from the register, the record index and the expenses schedule, complete the scheme's application fields for the client's details, the support sought and the documents attached. The tool writes nothing about what happened to the client.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer confirms the scheme and category, checks every field against the documents, inserts the client's own account as the client gives it, and confirms the client approves the application.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Confirm the application is lodged within the time limit in the register.
2. Check every field against the client's documents.
3. Confirm no AI-generated text appears in any part describing the violence or its impact.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
