Judge Nina Wang AI Filing Standing Order

Direct answer

Judge Nina Y. Wang's standing order regarding generative AI in court filings took effect December 1, 2025. It says every filing must include an AI certification regarding use or non-use in preparing the filing, signed by all individuals who contributed to drafting. When generative AI was used, contributors must certify personal human review for accuracy and that legal citations refer to real authorities.

The order says a noncompliant filing may be stricken without substantive consideration, with leave to refile a compliant document. Check the official judge page and the case docket before filing.

Operational information, not legal advice.

Order record

If generative AI was not used

The order supplies an illustrative certification that counsel did not use generative AI to draft the filing. The order labels examples illustrative. Use the current official text and firm filing process instead of copying language from a secondary summary.

If generative AI was used

The order's example identifies the tool, says the party was advised and consented, and states that counsel manually reviewed cited authority. The operative text requires each individual to certify that AI-drafted language, even if later edited by a human, received personal human review for accuracy and that citations reference actual cases or authorities.

The packet does not interpret when consent is legally required outside this order or how the order applies to a disputed drafting contribution. Escalate those questions to responsible counsel.

Filing workflow

1. Confirm Judge Wang remains assigned.
2. Open the current judge page, standing order and case docket.
3. Identify every person who contributed to drafting.
4. Record whether generative AI assisted any drafting.
5. If used, verify all AI-assisted language and every cited authority manually.
6. Select current certification language under responsible counsel review.
7. Confirm every required signer and ECF placement.
8. Retain the source and observed date in the filing record.

Citation review card

For every authority, record citation, official or trusted source, quoted page, proposition, procedural posture, current treatment and reviewer. A source that exists can still fail to support the proposition.

Scope boundary

The official source identifies Judge Nina Y. Wang. It does not establish a districtwide District of Colorado requirement. Another judge may have different practice standards. A case-specific order may add or change requirements.

The order also says filings remain subject to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11, 28 U.S.C. § 1927 and applicable ethical rules. This summary does not interpret those authorities for a matter.
