# Federal judges' generative AI certificates: wording keyed to each standing order (Colorado, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, New Mexico, Hawaii, Oklahoma, Texas)

> Certificate wording for federal judges whose standing orders require an AI disclosure or certification, set out order by order: what each asks for, where it goes, and the judges who ban AI in filings instead.

## When to use it

Use after you have opened the assigned judge's current standing order and it requires an AI certificate. It complements the federal filing worksheet (a5-us-generative-ai-filing-certification), which stays in the file. Do not file a certificate in a court that has withdrawn its requirement, and do not mix one judge's wording with another's.

## How AI may be used

A tool may pick the matching variant once the lawyer has opened the order and confirmed it governs the case. The lawyer completes the facts and signs.

**AI may:**

- Match the assigned judge's name to the variant below
- Fill in the tool name and uses the lawyer has listed
- Flag a judge in the prohibition list before any AI use on the matter

**AI must not:**

- Must not treat a variant here as current without the lawyer opening the order on the court's site
- Must not certify verification, review or confidentiality on the lawyer's behalf
- Must not use these certificates for a judge who prohibits AI in filings

**The lawyer checks:**

- The order is current, assigned to this case and not superseded by a local rule
- Every person the order requires to sign has signed, in the form the order requires (Marston: wet signature)
- The facts stated (tool, parts, verification, confidentiality) are true
