Summary

D. Mont. – Judge Donald W. Molloy 6/22/2023  Generative AI Generative AI Usage Specifically in the context of orders granting requests to admit counsel pro hac vice, Judge Molloy has issued at least one such order in which he specifies that pro hac counsel “shall do his or her own work” and that “[u]se of artificial intelligence automated drafting programs, such as Chat GPT, is prohibited.” This language seems to refer to generative AI tools, although the broad scope of the language may indicate that the prohibition applies to research as well as drafting/filing. Notably, some of Judge Molloy’s more recent orders have not included this prohibition on the use of gen AI. Attorneys should pay particular attention to any orders from Judge Molloy granting pro hac vice status to confirm whether they contain this language.
