Certification to attach to materials prepared with generative AI in the Montgomery County and Hamilton County Common Pleas courts: a general description of the AI and its role, and confirmation that the filer reviewed the materials.

## Key facts

- Kind: Court document. A document filed or served in a court or tribunal.
- Practice area: [Commercial Litigation & Dispute Resolution](https://ailawframework.com/precedents/commercial-litigation-and-dispute-resolution.md)
- Jurisdictions: United States, Ohio
- AI level: Yellow. You and the tool draft together, with you directing. You check every statement you rely on.
- Law stated as at: 2026-11-07
- Status: Maintained. Checked on 2026-11-07 against the 3 authorities it cites, for United States and Ohio.

## When to use it

Use for submissions to the Montgomery County or Hamilton County Court of Common Pleas where AI was used, including for editing. Hamilton's rule also reaches evidence. For Cuyahoga County, check the assigned judge's own certificate. For federal courts in Ohio, see the federal chambers certificates instead.

## How AI may be used

A tool may prepare the certification from the filer's description. The attorney or party confirms the review and signs.

**AI may:**

- Prepare the certification with the court's name and the filer's description of use
- List exhibits or evidence created or edited with AI, for Hamilton County

**AI must not:**

- Must not describe the AI's role beyond what the filer records
- Must not certify review, accuracy, validity or relevancy

**The lawyer checks:**

- Which court and judge the matter is before, and the current rule
- The materials were reviewed for accuracy, validity and relevancy and meet legal and ethical standards
- Evidence created or edited with AI is disclosed (Hamilton County)
