Regulayer / Who requires a record
IN FORCE · INDEPENDENT REVIEW REQUIRED
New York adopted Part 161, effective June 1, 2026, and it says the opposite of disclosure: lawyers should not be required to tell the court they used AI. What it does require is that you independently review any AI-assisted paper and ensure it contains no fabricated or fictitious authorities. Individual judges may still adopt stricter part rules, so check the part rules of the judge you drew. The proposed Commercial Division Rule 6(e) was never adopted.
the paper must contain “no fabricated or fictitious cases, statutes, or other material”
Part 161 asks you to have done the work rather than to announce it. The receipt is the evidence that you did, made per filing, at the time.
Regulayer makes the record. Software on your own machine that signs, at the moment you finish, which tool you declared, which checks you ran and who reviewed the work. Your client, your insurer or the court checks it in seconds, free, with no account and no access to a word of your file.
