Federal AI standing orders, one page per order
What the order requires, in plain words, from the court's own document.
What it requires
A district-wide caution rather than a certification mandate: attorneys and self-represented litigants are warned against submitting AI-drafted papers without checking accuracy, and the signer is responsible under Rule 11 regardless of whether generative AI drafted any portion of the filing.
The order's own words
“will be held responsible for the contents of that filing under Rule 11, regardless of whether generative artificial intelligence drafted any portion of that filing”

The source
This court requires no certification, but the responsibility is unchanged and personal. The attorney's receipt is the showing behind that responsibility: a sealed, signed record of which tools were used and what you personally verified, made before anyone asks, and verifiable free by anyone.

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.
