Standing order of the 402nd District Court on generative artificial intelligence: any attorney or self-represented litigant who uses any form of AI for legal research, drafting or analysis in a case before the court must, before using AI-generated information in a submission or proceeding, sign and submit the court's certification form stating that all language, quotations, sources, citations, arguments and analysis created or contributed to by generative AI were verified as accurate through traditional (non-AI) legal sources by a human being, and that the filer understands they will be held responsible, and potentially sanctioned, for their own, their staff's or their co-counsel's failure to comply. The order relieves no one of existing legal or ethical obligations. The certification form (Exhibit A) is reproduced after the order.
No judge-scoped deadlines on this tab. Deadlines are extracted only when the source rule text states them — we never infer or calculate dates the rule does not explicitly contain. 9 rule deadlines apply in this courtroom across all layers — assembled with citations in the Full Premium Report.
Timing shown here is quoted from the rule text. Compute your actual date against the court's calendar and the rule itself — not legal advice.
No verified ruling summary yet. BenchPath generates ruling summaries from opinion and docket corpora (CourtListener where covered) and publishes them only after human review — fabricated judicial analytics are exactly what this platform refuses to ship.
The attributed-opinion corpus covers Florida appellate decisions today; a Texas opinion corpus is a separate build. Absence here is a coverage statement, never evidence about this judge.

Answer three quick questions. The platform pulls J. Brad McCampbell's full public case-law record from the source, newest first — your matter never narrows the pull; it directs the relevance ranking and the dual-AI analysis. Every hit comes back Bluebook-cited with the opinion's own words quoted verbatim. The scan takes the time precision takes.
