Summary

 ND Ga. – Judge Johnson  2/8/2025 Any AI  Any AI Judge Johnson’s standing order requires all counsel and pro se parties to disclose the use of “artificial intelligence (AI) in any capacity to prepare documents submitted to the Court.” The order provides template language for the certification, which would require disclosure of the specific AI tool used and certification that the signer “independently reviewed this document to confirm accuracy, legitimacy, and use of good and applicable law, pursuant to Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.” The order also advises counsel and pro se parties that “mistake, lack of technical expertise, and time constraints are typically not recognized by the Court as a good faith excuse for submission of documents that either violate Rule 11 or this disclosure rule,” specifically states that arguments “supported by AI-generated caselaw (i.e., cases that do not actually exist) are not acceptable,” and cautions that failure to comply with the order may result in appropriate sanctions, up to and including dismissal and/or default judgment.
