What the notice says
The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin’s “Representing Yourself” page, its guidance for self-represented litigants, carries a notice on AI-assisted filings:
Filers are advised that documents created with the assistance of artificial intelligence (AI) tools may contain errors, misrepresentations, or fabrications. Filers are responsible for ensuring the accuracy and integrity of their filings. Filings that contain factual errors, misrepresentations of law, citation to a nonexistent case, or any other misrepresentation may result in sanctions by the court under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11.
The notice requires no disclosure of AI use and creates no new filing step. It restates that Rule 11 applies to AI-assisted filings.
Scope
The notice is district-wide guidance on the court’s website, not a judge’s standing order or a general order. The district’s general orders and local rules contain no AI-specific order (see the Wisconsin state page).
