Obligations tracker
Regulation
An obligations tracker organized by issuing authority and jurisdiction: US federal and state court standing orders, state bar ethics opinions, ABA guidance, and EU AI Act provisions relevant to legal-service AI use. Each entry pairs the primary rule text with a plain-language summary and an effective date, kept strictly separated by jurisdiction scope so US court/bar rules are never conflated with EU AI Act obligations. Serves the task of determining what is mandatory where a practitioner practices. Excludes case outcomes (Risk Digest) and procedural how-to steps (Workflows); this group answers 'what rule applies,' not 'what happened' or 'what do I do.'
