Quality Control Checklist

Use this checklist before sending work to a client or filing with a court.

Accuracy

  • All citations verified against primary sources
  • Dates, names, and amounts checked against source documents
  • Legal conclusions reviewed by a licensed attorney
  • No jurisdiction mix-ups (e.g., federal vs. state, wrong venue)

Confidentiality

  • No client identifiers or confidential terms left in AI prompts or outputs
  • Data handling complies with firm policy and provider terms
  • Sensitive matter flagged for extra review if AI was used

Completeness

  • All required sections or elements present
  • Escalation triggers followed (e.g., "when in doubt, ask a partner")
  • Redlines and track changes reviewed

Final step

  • Human sign-off before delivery

AI accelerates work. You own the quality.
