North Dakota Court System, Public Notice on the Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) (June 1, 2026)
Effective June 1, 2026 · Verified October 14, 2026.
Information about court rules, not legal advice. Rules change; read the order itself before you file.
Official notice: AI use is allowed and need not be disclosed solely because AI was used; filers stay fully responsible under N.D.R.Civ.P. 11 and must independently confirm citations, with N.D.R.Ct. 11.5 remedies for noncompliant filings.
“At this time, the North Dakota courts do not require disclosure of AI use in court filings solely because AI was used.”
The notice restates existing Rule 11 duties rather than creating a new rule, lists what courts expect (including independently confirmed citations), and says specific rules or orders may still require disclosure. Administrative Order 36 (effective May 18, 2026) governs court employees only.
Individual courts or judges in North Dakota may have their own orders.
Rules change, and individual judges and courts may have their own orders. Check the court's site and your judge's standing orders before you file.
Verify before you file. Start with one citation.
HallucinX checks that each cited case exists and that quoted text appears in the opinion. The duty to verify stays with you; this makes it faster.
