AI Detection for Courts

Screen what enters the court record for the signs of generative AI: filings written by a chatbot, citations to cases that do not exist, and exhibits that may be synthetic. Every signal is a prompt for a person to review, never an automatic verdict, with a defensible record of every check.

The problem

AI is entering the court record faster than the rules can keep up.

Filings now arrive written by chatbots, citing cases that were never decided. Exhibits can be AI-generated or quietly altered. Standing orders increasingly require filers to disclose AI use, but catching what slips through falls on clerks and judges reading by hand. AI Detection screens filings, documents, and evidence for the signs of generative AI and flags anything questionable for a person to review before it counts.

What it does

Every capability inside AI Detection: built in, configurable, and connected to the rest of the platform.

  • Citation Verification

    Confirm that the cases, statutes, and authorities a filing cites actually exist and say what the filing claims, catching fabricated citations regardless of who or what wrote them.

  • AI-Generation Signals

    Surface the linguistic and statistical markers of machine-generated text in filings and documents, ranked by confidence for a reviewer.

  • Synthetic-Media Flags

    Flag photos, audio, and video that show signs of AI generation or manipulation, so potential deepfakes are routed for authentication.

  • Provenance & Metadata Checks

    Read content credentials and file metadata, including C2PA provenance, to see where a document or exhibit came from and whether it was edited.

  • AI-Use Disclosure Tracking

    Capture and track the AI-use disclosures and certifications your standing orders require, tied to each filing and filer.

  • Human-in-the-Loop Review

    Route every flag to a queue for a person to confirm or dismiss. Nothing is decided automatically, and every decision is logged.

How it works

From data to outcome, automatically

  1. 01

    Ingest at intake

    Filings, documents, and evidence are screened as they arrive through Electronic Filing, Evidence Management, or direct upload.

  2. 02

    Screen for signals

    AI Detection checks citations against real sources, scans text for generation markers, and inspects media and metadata for signs of synthesis.

  3. 03

    Flag for review

    Anything questionable is flagged with the evidence behind it and routed to a reviewer. Clean items pass through untouched.

  4. 04

    Decide and record

    A person confirms or dismisses each flag. Every check, flag, and decision is logged as a defensible, exportable record.

FAQ

AI Detection questions, answered

Can eCourtDate detect AI-generated court filings?
Yes. eCourtDate AI Detection screens filings and documents for the signals of machine-generated text and checks every cited case and statute against real sources, then flags anything questionable for a person to review. It supports the reviewer; it does not issue an automatic verdict.
Is AI detection reliable enough to act on by itself?
No tool should be, and AI Detection is built that way on purpose. AI detectors produce false positives, so every signal is routed to a human reviewer with the evidence behind it. The platform flags for review and records the decision, and a person decides.
Does it detect deepfake or AI-altered evidence?
Yes. AI Detection flags photos, audio, and video that show signs of AI generation or manipulation and reads content provenance and metadata, including C2PA credentials, so potential synthetic evidence is routed for authentication before it enters the record.
How does it handle court AI-use disclosure rules?
AI Detection captures and tracks the AI-use disclosures and certifications that court standing orders increasingly require, tied to each filing and filer, so compliance is recorded rather than chased by hand.
Could it unfairly flag self-represented filers?
AI Detection never rejects a filing on its own. Because detection can misfire, especially on non-native English writing, every flag goes to a person to review with the underlying evidence, and the filing is judged by that person, not the software.
Does AI Detection work with our case management system?
Yes. AI Detection runs inside the platform alongside Electronic Filing and Evidence Management and syncs with Tyler, Journal Technologies, and other systems through the REST API, so it screens what you already process without new infrastructure.
