Certificate / Affidavit of Merit Readiness Checker

Will your case clear the merit gate before you file? State requirement, expert-qualification rules, timing, and a pre-file checklist.

3 generations/day per IP. Powered by Claude. Every state-specific point flagged for attorney verification.

Jan 2026 update — Berk v. Choy: the U.S. Supreme Court held that state certificate / affidavit-of-merit statutes do not apply in federal court (a procedural rule under Federal Rule 11 controls). This affects federal diversity cases only — the state-court merit-affidavit requirement still stands, and most med-mal cases are filed in state court. This tool addresses the state-court requirement; confirm your forum before relying on the result.
Not legal advice. Certificate / affidavit-of-merit requirements are jurisdiction-specific, frequently amended, and vary by case type. Attorney MUST verify the current controlling statute, expert-qualification rules, and filing deadline before relying on this output.
