When to use it
Use before adding an AI certificate out of habit, or when an agent drafts a filing for a court with no AI rule. It does not replace checking the assigned judge's own orders, which can still require a statement.
How to use this precedent
Check that it fits the matter: read “When to use it” and the places it applies to.
Log in to read the full text. It is free.
Adapt it to the matter, filling in each placeholder shown in [square brackets].
Use AI only as far as the Yellow level allows. “How AI may be used” says what AI may and must not do.
Before it goes out, a lawyer checks it against current law and each point under “The lawyer checks”.
How AI may be used
A tool may use this list to suggest that no certificate is needed. A lawyer still checks the assigned judge's page before filing.
AI may
Flag that a court on this list does not require a certificate
Remind the drafter of the verification duty that applies in that court
AI must not
Must not conclude that no judge in the court requires a statement
Must not add an AI certificate to a Florida state court filing because of a local order dated before 15 June 2026
The lawyer checks
The assigned judge's chambers page and the docket have been checked
The court's rule has not changed since the date in this checklist
Every citation is verified, because each court below still requires accuracy
