When to use it

Use when the disclosure tracker still has empty rows after a Brady and Giglio request. Do not use it to argue the facts of the offense or to file a motion.

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

A tool may copy tracker rows the lawyer has marked outstanding into the letter.

AI may

  • List only rows the tracker marks as still outstanding
  • Insert the date of the original request
  • Drop the Justice Manual sentence when the tracker says the forum is a state court

AI must not

  • Must not add a category the original request did not make
  • Must not argue that the missing item is material
  • Must not send the letter

The lawyer checks

  • Every listed item is an empty tracker row
  • The forum sentence matches the original request
  • The letter sets a date the lawyer chose
  • The letter does not state the facts of the charge

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