Northern District of California judge requires per-filing AI certification naming tool and verifier

A Northern District of California judge issued a standing order requiring any filing prepared with generative AI to identify the tool, the portions affected, and the human who verified them. The order applies to all civil matters on the docket and takes effect for filings made after 1 August. Certification is required with each filing rather than once per case. Counsel who cannot make the certification must instead file a short statement explaining why, before the applicable filing deadline.
