New Brunswick Court and Tribunal AI Rules Checker
This free tool answers a single question: can I use AI to prepare my case before a particular New Brunswick court, tribunal, or board? Choose from any of the 10 New Brunswick adjudicative bodies it tracks and the checker tells you exactly what that body’s rules currently say about using AI, with a direct link to the source every time. It covers every New Brunswick court, from the Court of Appeal and the Court of King’s Bench to the Provincial, Probate, and Small Claims Courts, along with tribunals and boards including the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Tribunal, the Labour and Employment Board, and the Law Society of New Brunswick. Check out our other free tools below.
As of now, no New Brunswick court or tribunal has adopted an AI-specific practice direction, rule, or guideline. None requires you to declare or disclose that you used AI, and not one bans it outright, but every court and tribunal still holds you fully responsible for what you file. Generative AI can invent fake case citations that look entirely real, and courts in Canada and beyond have already penalized the people who filed them, so verify every authority against a trusted source such as CanLII before you rely on it. We re-check these rules every week and will update this tool the moment that changes.

Practice directions and tribunal rules change often, so always confirm the current requirements directly with the relevant court, tribunal, or board before you file anything or rely on AI.
