Federal AI standing orders, one page per order
What the order requires, in plain words, from the court's own document.
What it requires
Neither prohibits generative AI nor requires disclosure. Instead, counsel and pro se litigants must personally confirm the accuracy of any AI-assisted research, and counsel alone bears ethical responsibility for every statement in a filing.
The order's own words
“Use of generative artificial intelligence tools is not prohibited, but counsel must personally confirm for themselves the accuracy of any research conducted by these means”
Date
Civil standing order dated 7 May 2026. The AI paragraph carried over unchanged from the March version
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.
Seven days free, then $349 a month.
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.
