Court rules on AI in filings

U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.

Judge Fernando M. Olguin. Initial Standing Order, § 5.

In force when read In force when read on 26 September 2026.

  • No certificate of its own

The court’s words

“If any party or attorney uses an artificial intelligence tool in the preparation of any filing, the submission of that document signifies that the individual responsible for the filing has certified that she/he reviewed all source material and verified the accuracy of any AI content.”

Quoted from the court’s own document, read on 26 September 2026. Read it at the source.

What it asks of the person who signs

  • No certificate of its own

    the duty to verify every citation, restated; the signature carries it.

Applies to: Any filing prepared with an AI tool. Where it goes: Made by submitting the filing; no separate certificate.

The statement, if one is called for

Nothing to draft: under this rule, filing the paper is itself the statement.

On the check page Loupe drafts the statement for this court from the parts you tick, for you to read and sign: what it says is your choice and your responsibility. The order in force on the day is what counts; read it at the source before relying on this page.

Check the filing first

Paste the brief or drop the file, and Loupe looks up every citation in the published record: whether the case exists, whether it is the case the filing names, whether the pin cite falls inside the opinion; statutes, regulations, court rules and links too. It doesn’t generate anything, and what it can’t settle it marks “not verified”, never clean.
