Take the victim’s own account of the crime and its impact

How AI is used
Index the records so the lawyer can sit with the victim. Write no part of the account.
What the lawyer must review
The account is the victim’s. You take it. Nothing the tool writes goes into the application, a statement or a submission to the program or the court. Model Rule 1.6 bars putting the account into a public tool. Opinion 512 is the same confidentiality duty. If the account will be used in a federal criminal case, 18 U.S.C. § 3771 gives the victim a right to be reasonably heard at specified proceedings and a right to be treated with fairness and respect for dignity and privacy. Those rights do not authorise a generated narrative.
