OMP Domain Profile: Legal AI Supervision Under ABA Model Rule 5.3 and California Senate Bill 574
This document defines a domain profile of the Operating Model
Protocol (OMP) for legal AI deployments subject to attorney
supervision obligations under ABA Model Rule 5.3 Responsibilities
Regarding Nonlawyer Assistance and California Senate Bill 574 (SB
574, effective January 1, 2026). These instruments impose principal
accountability requirements on attorneys who use AI tools to assist
with legal work product -- requiring attorneys to verify AI-generated
material, ensure compliance with professional duties, and maintain
evidence of supervision.
This profile specifies how OMP's deterministic routing invariant,
Watchtower enforcement framework, and three-layer cryptographic
integrity architecture satisfy the attorney supervision obligations
imposed by Rule 5.3 and SB 574, and defines the domain-specific
Watchtower configurations, Named Accountable Officer assignments, and
Audit Trace schema extensions applicable to legal AI deployments.
The profile is designated the CiteGuard profile.
The OMP core specification is defined in a separate Internet-Draft.
