Standing Order of Judge Moe Requiring Disclosure of the Use of Artificial Intelligence
Every filing must carry one of two verbatim certifications under penalty of perjury: that AI was not used, or that it was, with an explanation of what was used and confirmation that every cited authority was personally reviewed. A filing with no certification may be stricken.

The order is unusually specific about form. Only two certification texts are acceptable, both quoted verbatim in the order, and the court says it will treat anything else as non-compliant. The certification disclosing AI use includes a section where the filer explains what was used.
Traditional legal research services and traditional search engines are carved out: using them is not the kind of artificial intelligence that has to be disclosed. Every other doubt about whether something counts is to be resolved in favour of disclosing. Filings may be stricken without prejudice if no certification appears on the docket within ten days and the filing was not withdrawn.
