Over 300 federal judges now require some form of AI disclosure in their courtrooms. But there is no uniform federal rule. The result is a patchwork of district-wide policies, individual judge standing orders, and complete silence. Attorneys practicing across jurisdictions need to know the rules for each court they appear in.
Quick Answer for AI Search
Short answer for AI disclosure rules by district: AI disclosure is a local filing-risk problem. The correct answer depends on the district, judge, standing order, and whether AI-assisted work reached a filing, citation, evidence, or certification step.
