Court rules on AI in filings

U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia.

Magistrate Judge Tiffany R. Johnson. Guidelines to Parties and Counsel in Civil Cases, § 3.A.

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

  • Say that generative AI was used
  • Name the AI tool
  • Certify that it was checked

The court’s words

“If AI was used in any way to prepare a filing or submission to the Court or chambers, counsel and pro se parties are REQUIRED to sign and file a Disclosure of Use of Artificial Intelligence stating, as follows: “This document was generated with the assistance of [identify AI tool name]. I hereby certify under penalty of perjury that, despite reliance on an AI tool, I have independently reviewed this document to confirm accuracy, legitimacy, and use of good and applicable law, pursuant to Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.””

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

This order speaks of AI in general, not only of generative AI. Loupe does not write or change your document: it reads it, matches each citation against published court records, and reports what it found. Whether that has to be disclosed under this order is for you to judge.

What it asks of the person who signs

  • Say that generative AI was used

    or, where the order asks it, that it was not.

  • Name the AI tool

    the order wants the tool identified.

  • Certify that it was checked

    in the filing: that the content and the citations were verified.

Applies to: Any filing or submission prepared with AI in any way. Where it goes: A signed and filed Disclosure of Use of Artificial Intelligence.

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:

DISCLOSURE OF USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

This document was generated with the assistance of [name the AI tool]. I hereby certify under penalty of perjury that, despite reliance on an AI tool, I have independently reviewed this document to confirm accuracy, legitimacy, and use of good and applicable law, pursuant to Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

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.
