Over 300 federal judges now require AI disclosure in court filings. Each judge's order is different — some require simple certification, others demand detailed descriptions of every AI tool used. These profiles cover the judge's background, their specific AI requirements, enforcement history, and practical compliance guidance. The wave started with Mata v. Avianca (S.D.N.Y. 2023), where fabricated AI citations triggered sanctions that put every federal judge on notice. Senior Judge Michael Baylson (E.D. Pa.) issued one of the broadest early orders, covering all AI types — not just generative AI. JPML (Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation) proceedings add complexity when AI standing orders from different transferor districts govern different phases of the same MDL.
