COURT’S STANDING ORDER ON THE USE OF GENERATIVE AI
Pursuant to the Court’s inherent authority and the authority of Rule 11 of
the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, no attorney for a party, or a pro se party, may
use Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) in the preparation of any filing submitted to the
Court. Parties and their counsel who violate this AI ban may face sanctions
including, inter alia, striking the pleading from the record, the imposition of
economic sanctions or contempt, and dismissal of the lawsuit. The Court does not
intend this AI ban to apply to information gathered from legal search engines, such
as Westlaw or LexisNexis, or Internet search engines, such as Google or Bing. All
parties and their counsel have a duty to immediately inform the Court if they
discover the use of AI in any document filed in their case.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
