The honor-code line in AI-assisted briefs

Every honor code we surveyed uses some version of the phrase substantially your own work. That phrase is doing a lot of quiet work. It leaves room for spell-check, room for a peer to read your draft, room for your outline to inherit structure from the professor’s syllabus. It does not leave room for a tool that writes the brief for you.

Three commitments Scriba makes

• The assistant can only cite passages you have highlighted. It cannot pull from the full opinion, or from a training corpus of pre-written briefs.
• Case names come with a red verify chip until you confirm them. Hallucinated citations do not silently ship.
• Every export appends an AI-disclosure listing the sections the assistant touched. If your professor asks whether you used AI, the answer is attached to the document.

What that still requires from you

Read the case. Do the highlighting. Own the rule statement. The assistant makes the mechanics faster; it does not replace the reasoning. If your school has a written policy on AI use, follow it — the disclosure appendix is there to make disclosure the easy path.
