Court AI rule check logbefore you file in any court

TimeBinder adds a layer of protection against AI and human fraud and disputes. Add each court or judge, say where you looked and what you found. You get a dated log and warnings for any court where nothing was checked.

Everything you type stays on this page. This page does not know what any court requires and does not give the wording any court asks for. It records where you looked and what you found. It is not legal advice. Follow your court’s rules and your professional obligations.

Log your rule checks

Add each court or judge, where you looked, what you found and what you did. Use the made-up example to see how it works. Nothing you type is sent to TimeBinder.

Everything you type stays on this page. Nothing is sent anywhere or tied to your name.

Record which court AI rules you looked for, where, and what you did about them

Add each court or judge, say where you looked and what you found. You get a dated log and warnings for any court where nothing was checked. It does not know what any court requires.

How do I show I checked a court’s rules on AI use before filing? The short answer

Keep a dated log with one line per court or judge: where you looked (the court’s rules page, the judge’s page, a standing order or practice direction, or by asking the clerk), the page or document you read, the date, what you found, the exact rule number or wording if there is one, and what you did about it. Copy exact words rather than summarising from memory.

Rules and orders on AI use differ by court and judge, and they change, so look again close to filing. “Found nothing” is a result worth recording, with the page you checked. This page cannot tell you what any court requires. A TimeBind of the filed document and of the log can show those exact files existed no later than a recorded time.

Why this came up in November 2026

AI-fabricated material in court is a topic with real audiences. Counts below were read on 13 November 2026 (Australia/Brisbane) unless the text says another date. The Branca Show’s “Federal Judge Used FAKE AI Evidence—Appeals Court Takes His Case!”, uploaded on 27 October 2026, showed 24,833 views. Uncivil Law’s “11 Fake Plaintiffs, 4 Phantom Witnesses: This Judge’s AI Disaster”, uploaded on 3 November 2026, showed 8,659 views. Rebecca Zung’s video on AI and attorney-client privilege, uploaded on 10 November 2026, showed 3,356 views. These videos are about courts and AI in general, so they are indirect signals for a rule-check log. Demand for this exact tool is modest. This page does not check what any video says.

A log of rule checks is different from a citation log: it shows you looked for the court’s requirements before you filed.

What this tool does and does not do

The honest job of this page is to keep a dated record that you looked. See also the glossary entries for existed no later than and SHA-256.

Limits of the Court AI rule check log
Part	What it does	What it does not do
Your log	Records each court or judge, where you looked, the date, the result, the wording and your action.	Say what any court requires.
Warnings	Flags courts not checked, rules with no wording copied or no action, unclear results, old or future-dated checks.	Say whether a filing complies.
File note	Gives a text note and a spreadsheet file, marked as the author’s own account.	Give any court’s required wording.
A TimeBind of a file you already hold	Records that an exact file existed no later than a recorded time and still matches, using a SHA-256 fingerprint made in your browser. The file stays on your device.	Show that the law or a rule is correctly stated.

If you may need to show the log later

When the filing is final:

Save the final filed document, the log and copies of the rules pages you relied on.
Make a TimeBind of each exact file you already hold. The fingerprint is made in your browser and the file stays on your device. You can later download a Proof of Time Certificate.
Keep them together with the date of filing.

A TimeBind shows the exact files existed no later than the recorded time and still match. It does not show a rule is correctly stated.

What a TimeBind shows, and what it does not. It shows that an exact file existed no later than a recorded time and that a copy shown later still matches its fingerprint. It does not show who made the file, who owns it, that its contents are true, or whether AI was used to make or edit it. This is general information, not legal advice.

For the AI chats themselves, the free AI chat transcript retention record keeps a plain record of the accounts used on a matter and whether an export was saved. It cannot say whether a chat is privileged.

Court AI rule check log: FAQ

Does this tool tell me what a court requires?

No. It does not know any court’s rules. It records what you found.

Should I record “found nothing”?

Yes, with the page or document you checked and the date. It shows you looked.

How often should I re-check?

Rules and orders change. The tool flags checks more than 30 days old. Look again close to filing.

Does the log satisfy a court’s disclosure rule?

No. It is a plain log and says so. Use the wording your court requires.

Is this legal advice?

No. Follow your court’s rules and your professional obligations.

Is anything I type or tick sent to TimeBinder?

No. This page runs in your browser. What you type stays on the page.

Your file’s fingerprint, anchored to a global network secured by real electricity and cryptography.

Editing a file—including with AI—changes its fingerprint, not its existing network record.

How this works

Your file’s SHA-256 fingerprint, a short code worked out from its exact contents, is made in your browser, and the file itself stays on your device. A cryptographic commitment to that fingerprint, which may be combined with others, is then anchored in a block on the Bitcoin blockchain. Bitcoin is secured by proof of work: computers around the world spend real electricity to add each block, and changing an earlier block would mean redoing that work faster than the rest of the network. Until that block is confirmed, your proof is pending. Once the Bitcoin anchoring is confirmed, you can verify the proof against that recorded commitment. The confirmed record can then be checked; Pooled TimeBinds are checked through TimeBinder, while ASAP TimeBinds can also be checked independently. If you check the file later and its fingerprint still matches, that shows the file existed no later than the recorded time. The record doesn’t show who made the file, whether AI was used, or that its contents are true.
