10th Circuit AI rules: no local AI disclosure or certification requirement exists in Polk, Highlands or Hardee
The 10th Judicial Circuit never adopted an AI disclosure or certification mandate, and none of its judges publishes one. Filers in Polk, Highlands and Hardee Counties are governed by the statewide rule alone: Fla. R. Gen. Prac. & Jud. Admin. 2.515(d)(2) and AOSC26-12.

The 10th Circuit has adopted its own procedures for the conduct of court-ordered non-binding arbitration under section 44.103, Florida Statutes.
10th Circuit: the Civil Case Management Plan must be filed WITH the complaint — the Clerk rejects initial pleadings without it
In Polk, Highlands and Hardee Counties, a plaintiff filing almost any civil case must file the circuit's preapproved Civil Case Management Plan at the same moment as the civil cover sheet, complaint and summonses. This is not a later step: AO 3-42.2 directs the Clerk to refuse the initial pleading until the plan is filed.
10th Circuit: related circuit civil cases may be coordinated instead of consolidated
Polk County circuit civil practice provides a coordination procedure for related cases where full consolidation would be inefficient.
