Court-rule proposals

Generative-AI petition 26-02: dismissed

Jay Stone filed Rule Petition 26-02 on February 19, 2026, seeking a new Supreme Court Rules Chapter 76 on generative AI in court proceedings. The proposed text addressed accuracy verification, confidentiality, disclosure of substantive AI-generated filings and personal responsibility for lawyers, self-represented litigants and judicial personnel.[1]

In a letter dated September 28 and received by the court September 30, Stone requested withdrawal because he had decided not to pursue the proposed rule.[2] On October 15, 2026, the Wisconsin Supreme Court granted the withdrawal motion and dismissed the petition. The order ends petition 26-02 without adopting its proposed Chapter 76.[3]
