Ind. Trial Rule 11 (amended), new T.R. 11.1 and 11.2, Order Amending Rules of Trial Procedure, No. 26S-MS-8
Effective August 1, 2026 · Verified October 14, 2026.
Information about court rules, not legal advice. Rules change; read the order itself before you file.
An attorney's signature (or a self-represented party's under T.R. 11.1) certifies, among other things, that any cited legal authority is authentic, expressly including filings prepared with AI assistance; citing fictitious authority can support an abusive-litigant finding under T.R. 11.2.
“This rule applies to all pleadings, motions, and other submissions to the court by parties represented by attorney, including without limitation those prepared with the assistance of artificial intelligence, the internet, or other resources.”
The quoted text is T.R. 11(F). The certification "that any cited legal authority is authentic" appears in T.R. 11(B) and 11.1(C). This is a certification of authenticity, not an AI-disclosure requirement. The Indiana Supreme Court separately issued AI guidance for trial judges in February 2026.
