When to use it

Use before publishing or updating website guides, fact sheets, guided interviews and other self-help content that the firm or a client-facing tool shows to the public. One record per page or per guided path.

Used for these tasks

Each task page says how far AI may help with the task and what the lawyer must review.

How AI may be used

AI may list every legal proposition and citation on the page and compare the wording with the last approved version, and a lawyer checks each proposition against the official source.

AI may

  • List each statement of law, each citation and each date on the page, with the paragraph number.
  • Mark propositions that differ from the last approved version of the page.
  • Suggest plain-language rewrites of a sentence the lawyer has already marked as accurate.

AI must not

  • Must not mark a proposition correct because it appears in the existing page or in another firm's page.
  • Must not add a case, section or form number that the reviewer has not opened.
  • Must not publish the page.

The lawyer checks

  • Every proposition in the list was checked against the official instrument or the decision, on the date in the record.
  • The page says it is general information, names the jurisdiction, and states the date a lawyer last reviewed it.
  • The page does not tell the reader what to do in their own matter, and the next-review date is in the diary.

Method: how the Green, Yellow and Red levels are decided. This is guidance for planning, not legal advice.
