- If the certification states AI was used, the program must be identified and the documents that include AI-generated content must be specified, along with which parts of the documents were drafted by the program.

What the rule requires
Justice Maslow’s Part 2 Rules §C15 imposes a binary certification regime on any motion submission. Either the filer certifies no generative AI was used, or the filer discloses (a) the AI program used, (b) which documents contain AI-generated content, and (c) which parts of those documents were drafted by the program. In either case, all generated text including citations, quotations, and legal analysis must be reviewed for accuracy and approved by an attorney or pro se party.
The rule’s most distinctive feature is its third operative provision: an affirmative duty on attorneys to report hallucinations they discover in an opposing party’s submission. This is unusual; most chambers AI rules impose disclosure obligations on the filer but not affirmative reporting obligations on the opposing party.
Quotable language
“All submissions with respect to a motion must include a certification either that no generative artificial intelligence program was used in the drafting of any affidavit, affirmation, or memorandum of law contained within the submission, or that a generative artificial intelligence program was used but all generated text, including citations, quotations, and legal analysis, was reviewed for accuracy and approved by an attorney (or the pro se party).”
“An attorney who discovers that hallucinations are contained in an opposing party’s submission shall immediately inform the Court of such.”
