Federal AI standing orders, one page per order
What the order requires, stated as the court states it, from the court's own document.
What it requires
The first AI standing order in the nation (May 2023). Every attorney and pro se litigant had to file a certificate attesting either that no portion of any filing would be drafted by generative AI, or that any AI-drafted language would be checked for accuracy by a human, against print reporters or traditional legal databases.
The order's own words
“no portion of any filing will be drafted by generative artificial intelligence (such as ChatGPT, Harvey.AI, or Google Bard)”
Date
Reported 30 May 2023. The court’s page carried no date, then or now, so this date rests on contemporaneous reporting rather than on the court’s own document.
Note
The judge's live requirements page states that the certificate is no longer required because the court adopted Local Civil Rule 7.2(f) and Local Criminal Rule 47.2(e), which require disclosure of generative AI use in documents lawyers prepared with it. Shown here as history. The order text is from the archived official page.

Dozens of federal judges keep similar requirements in force. The attorney's receipt answers them in one pass: which AI tools were used, for what, what you personally checked, and your signature over all of it, sealed so any later change shows, and the judge or opposing counsel can verify it free.
A signed record of which AI you used and what you checked, sealed to the exact file you deliver, made on your own machine and checkable free by anyone you send it to.
Every fact on this page was read against the court’s own documents. Standing orders change; confirm against the judge's live page before filing. This page is information, not legal advice.
