22 NYCRR Part 161 (Use of Artificial Intelligence Technology), adopted by AO/75/26
Effective June 1, 2026 · Verified October 14, 2026.
Information about court rules, not legal advice. Rules change; read the order itself before you file.
Statewide policy: AI use is permitted and filers need not disclose it; each court may adopt the Appendix A model rule, under which signing an AI-assisted paper certifies a review confirming it contains no fabricated content.
“...attorneys and parties should not be required, upon submitting papers, to disclose to the court that they have used AI in the preparation of such papers.”
Part 161 is a binding Unified Court System rule, but statewide it imposes no disclosure or verification step. Section 161.3 sets the no-disclosure policy; § 161.4 encourages courts to adopt the Appendix A model rule, under which signing an AI-assisted paper certifies review and that it contains no fabricated cases. Appendix A applies only in courts that adopt it; this page does not track which courts have. Many S.D.N.Y. and E.D.N.Y. judges have individual AI orders.
Individual courts or judges in New York may have their own orders.
