Parties and counsel are responsible for independently verifying the accuracy of any AI generated text, legal citation, factual assertion, or argument. The Court will not accept pleadings that contain fabricated authorities, non existent citations, false facts, or misrepresentations.
Additionally, all filings shall be fully self-contained and shall not “incorporate by reference” other separate filings for review and consideration as part of the pending filing.
The filing party must ensure that a document contains no hallucinated cases, statutes, regulations, facts, or procedural assertions.
Court's wording
AI systems sometimes generate inaccurate or fictional material (“hallucinations”). It is the duty of the filing party to ensure that no hallucinated cases, statutes, regulations, facts, or procedural assertions appear in the document.
Motions must include a certification specifying: o the date of the meet and confer, o how it took place (telephone, video, or in-person), and o the specific issues that remain unresolved.

Filings must be narrowly tailored to the facts, issues, and procedural posture of the specific case. AI generated boilerplate, generic discussions, or irrelevant legal standards are not acceptable.
Regardless of the drafting method, the attorney or self represented litigant remains fully responsible for the content, accuracy, and compliance of all filings. Improper reliance on AI will not excuse rule violations.
Filings that contain hallucinations, fabricated citations, or irrelevant AI generated material may result in sanctions, including striking the filing, monetary sanctions, or other relief the Court deems appropriate.
Parties and counsel may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to assist in drafting pleadings or conducting legal research. However, any filing that relies on AI generated content must meet the same standards of accuracy, relevance, and professionalism required of all submissions to the Court.
