Court rules on AI use and citation certification

These 12 rules and orders, in 7 jurisdictions, govern how filers use AI and vouch for their citations: most make filers certify, verify or disclose; some limit what courts may require or warn of sanctions. Here they are side by side, each with its effective date, the date we last checked it and the rule’s text.

Side by side

Newest first; rules whose source states no effective date come last. Each carries the book’s label; most are Legal status: they change no citation form. Read each rule’s scope in its text.

How we check

Each rule binds the filings within its scope: a court, a judge’s cases, or a type of paper, so read the scope in the rule’s text. Each row carries the book’s label: Requirement means an official rule binds the document; Legal status says what a source is or what duty comes with filing it; Permission to cite and Precedential weight say whether a court lets you cite something and how much it binds. See 1.3 What the labels mean and 1.2 Whose rules govern?.

  • Source text

    Each row links to the official text where the issuer publishes one, and otherwise to the most reliable copy we found; the link says which. You read the rule itself, not a summary of it.

  • Effective date

    The date the cited text took effect, or, where the source dates only the rule’s latest amendment, that date. If the source states neither, the row says so.

  • Checked date

    The day we last opened the source and confirmed the text and its effective date. Every row shows it.
