Registration Link for E-Notify PROCEDURE K: ATTORNEY/PRO SE PARTY CERTIFICATION AND VERIFICATION REQUIREMENTS OF USE OF AI TECHNOLOGIES An attorney may ethically use AI technologies, but only to the extent that they can reasonably ensure compliance with their ethical obligations.
Reviewer note: Parent AO vacated 6/15/2026 (AO 2026-19-Gen) + statewide preemption (AOSC26-12); division doc still posts mandate as of 7/5/2026
G-2026-045-SC required anyone using generative AI to disclose it on the face of the filing and add a scripted certification, on pain of striking, denial of relief or monetary penalties. Rule 2.515(d)(2) and AOSC26-12 preempted it on June 15, 2026, so it could not be enforced — and by August 16, 2026 the Seventh Circuit had removed the order from its published register (no rescission instrument appears there). BenchPath holds the hashed capture as the historical record.
