Judge Jones's published procedures (rev. Feb 4, 2026), Section 10, are the Second Circuit's only local generative-AI provision. They require lawyers and pro se litigants to review the work product of a generative AI, make parties responsible for that work product regardless of whether AI drafted or researched it, and warn that failure to verify accuracy may result in sanctions. It is a review-and-responsibility rule, NOT an AI-use disclosure or certification mandate — consistent with statewide AOSC26-12 (which bars circuit-level AI disclosure/certification requirements) and amended Rule 2.515(d)(2).
Judge Jones's division (criminal). Not a disclosure/certification order — no AI use must be disclosed; the duty is to verify accuracy. Statewide Rule 2.515(d)(2) governs the represent-that-authorities-exist duty.
