## When to use it

Use when a brief is being assembled for a settlement conference or a mediation. Do not use it as the position paper, the trial brief, or the statutory conference record in a work injury damages claim.

## Used for these tasks

- [Check who must attend a mediation and what is exchanged before it](https://ailawframework.com/practice/personal-injury-and-compensation/check-who-must-attend-a-mediation-and-what-is-exchanged-before-it.md)
- [Draft a settlement advice and conference paper](https://ailawframework.com/practice/personal-injury-and-compensation/draft-a-settlement-advice-and-conference-paper.md)

## How AI may be used

Counsel or the client may be given this index, and it is not a document that is filed.

**AI may:**

- List the tabs of the brief and leave a tab blank when the document does not exist.
- Insert the attendance rule from the practice note that applies to this court, and no other.
- Record whether a costs disclosure has been given, without restating the disclosure statutes.

**AI must not:**

- Do not write the mediation position paper or a statutory conference record in this index.
- Do not copy the District Court attendance rule into the Supreme Court, or the Supreme Court of Victoria rule into the County Court.
- Do not put health records into a public tool. List them only if the lawyer has decided a copy is needed at the conference.
- Do not draft an affidavit for an adjournment of the conference.

**The lawyer checks:**

- Read the order that listed the conference. It prevails over a general practice note.
- Practice Note SC CL 3 applies to proceedings in a List commenced after 1 July 2026. Check the filing date.
- The County Court of Victoria practice note was not opened. Leave County Court attendance blank until it is read.
