First Judicial Circuit (Circuit 1) · official circuit site ✓
Effective June 15, 2026, every signer of a Florida court filing — attorney or self-represented — represents that "the legal authorities identified exist and are accurately cited," with express sanctions (reprimand, contempt, striking, dismissal, costs, fees) for violations. Companion order AOSC26-12 preempts ALL circuit- and judge-level AI disclosure/certification requirements.
AO 2026-12 briefly required anyone using AI to disclose it on the face of a filing. Chief Judge John F. Simon, Jr. vacated it on June 11, 2026, expressly because the Supreme Court had directed courts to rely on the amended Florida Rules instead of local orders. Nothing replaced it.
