The statement, if one is called for

The order asks for words of its own. With the blanks filled in from your answers, they read:

CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE

This brief complies with the word limit of NECivR 7.1(d). It contains [number] words, as counted by the word-count function of [name and version of the word-processing software], applied to include all text, including the caption, headings, footnotes, and quotations.

A generative artificial intelligence program [the AI tool, if you name it] was used in drafting this brief. To the extent it was used, a human signatory of this brief verified the accuracy of all generated text, including all citations and legal authority.

If no generative AI was used: “This brief complies with the word limit of NECivR 7.1(d). It contains [number] words, as counted by the word-count function of [name and version of the word-processing software], applied to include all text, including the caption, headings, footnotes, and quotations. No generative artificial intelligence program was used in drafting this brief.”

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.
