New York State Unified Court System.

The court’s words

“attorneys and parties should not be required, upon submitting papers, to disclose to the court that they have used AI in the preparation of such papers. … any attorney or party who uses an artificial intelligence tool, as defined in 22 NYCRR 161.2(a), in preparing any paper, as defined in 22 NYCRR 161.2(b), filed in or submitted to this court or served on another party in a case before this court is required to carefully review the paper and independently ensure that it contains no fabricated or fictitious cases, statutes, or other material. By signing such paper, an attorney or party certifies that such a review has been conducted and that the paper contains no such fabricated or fictitious content.”

The court system’s site serves the rule to a browser only; it was read in one on 5 November 2026 and the words checked against that reading. The order that adopted it, AO/75/2026, was not served at all.

Part 161 defines AI broadly, as any machine-based system that makes predictions, recommendations or decisions. Loupe does not write or change your document: it reads it, matches each citation against published court records, and reports what it found. Whether using it is using an AI tool under a court’s part rule is for you to judge.

What it asks of the person who signs

• Certify that it was checked

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

Applies to: Any paper prepared with an AI tool and filed in a court that adopted the model rule; the assigned judge’s part rules say whether it did. Where it goes: Made by signing, in a court that has adopted the Appendix A model rule: the signature certifies the review. Part 161 itself asks for no disclosure anywhere; the model rule applies only where a court adopted it as a part rule.

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.
