## When to use it

Use in civil cases assigned to Magistrate Judge Couvillier when a filing includes content generated or drafted by AI (for example ChatGPT, Harvey, CoCounsel or Google Gemini). The order also bars uploading sealed documents and documents with personal-data identifiers to open AI systems.

## How AI may be used

A tool may lay out the judge's statement and fill in facts the signer gives it. The signer decides what to say about the AI use and makes the checks the statement describes.

**AI may:**

- Insert the tool name, version and uses the signer has recorded
- Insert only a version of the statement that the rule or order provides and that matches the signer's account of AI use
- Check that the statement sits where the rule or order says it must

**AI must not:**

- Must not state that citations, quotations or facts were checked; only the signer can say that after doing it
- Must not describe the AI use more narrowly than the file record shows
- Must not put prompts, privileged material or confidential client information in the statement
- Must not upload sealed filings, or filings with personal-data identifiers, to an open AI system

**The lawyer checks:**

- The current judge's rule or order has been opened on the court's own site and matches the words used
- Every citation and quotation was checked by a person against an official or recognised source
- The statement is placed and signed as the rule requires, by the person the rule names
