Court AI policies range from certification requirements disclosing AI use, to prohibitions on AI-generated filings, to orders requiring verification of all citations. Some courts have adopted no policy and rely on existing rules.
Requirements vary by district, division, and individual judge.
Alternative Names:
Judicial AI Policy, Court AI Rules
Why it Matters?
The variation is the practical problem, since a firm appearing in multiple courts faces different requirements in each and some judges have standing orders that differ from their district's local rules. Checking the assigned judge's standing orders at case opening is the only reliable approach. The underlying obligation exists regardless of any policy, since Rule 11 already requires verification of factual and legal contentions.
