An attorney review layer formalizes where legal judgment enters the process: which outputs require review, by whom, against what standard, and with what record of the review having occurred.
It differs from generic human-in-the-loop design by requiring a licensed professional rather than any reviewer, reflecting the nature of the underlying obligation.

Lawyer Review Layer, Professional Review Step
Why it Matters?
This is how firms operationalize supervision and verification duties into something auditable. When a client, court, or carrier asks who reviewed AI-assisted work product, the review layer supplies the answer, and the associated audit trail supplies the proof. Defining it by work type, with heavier requirements for filings and advice than for internal drafts, keeps the control proportionate.
