Frequently asked questions
Do solicitors need to verify AI-assisted witness statement drafts?
Yes. An AI-assisted draft is an assembly and drafting aid, not a finished product. Solicitors retain their professional obligations to ensure the statement is accurate, complete, and compliant with CPR Part 32. Every draft must be verified with the witness and amended to reflect their actual recollection in their own words before the statement of truth is signed. LegalDocs Assist reinforces this with a CJC-aligned AI-use declaration block above the statement of truth and an assembly-not-generation discipline for trial statements.
