18th Circuit AO 26-10 — Generative AI Disclosure Mandate [RESCINDED eff. 2026-06-01]
[RESCINDED June 1, 2026 by AO 26-24; statewide preemption context: Fla. R. Gen. Prac. & Jud. Admin. 2.515(d)(2) as amended by SC2026-0673 + AOSC26-12, both effective June 15, 2026.] AO 26-10 (entered 2026-02-13) was the 18th Circuit OWN-MANDATE: DISCLOSURE OF USE OF GENERATIVE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE BY ATTORNEYS AND SELF-REPRESENTED LITIGANTS (verified title; the original operative text was removed from the site before capture and is preserved as UNVERIFIED — no fabricated language). Rescission verbatim (AO 26-24, live-fetched + hashed): WHEREAS, this Court entered Administrative Order 26-10 to address the Court concerns regarding the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools in the preparation of pleadings, motions, memoranda, and proposed orders; WHEREAS, the Chief Justice ... has issued In re Amendments to Florida Rule of General Practice and Judicial Administration 2.515, No. SC2026-0673 (Fla. May 28, 2026); and WHEREAS, the Chief Justice ... has issued AOSC26-12 directing circuits to operate under the authority of the amended rule, 2.515(d)(2), effective June 15, 2026. ... IT IS ORDERED: Administrative Order 26-10 is hereby rescinded. DONE AND ORDERED this 1st day of June, 2026. MELANIE CHASE, CHIEF JUDGE.
Reviewer note: Historical OWN-MANDATE, cleanly rescinded pre-preemption. Superseded_by link to fl-rja-2-515-authorities-exist. No active AI mandates remain in the 18th. | Set to in_review 2026-07-26: the order's subject looks practitioner-facing but the extracted text captured only recitals or an effective date, not the operative ORDERED section. This is an extraction defect, not a judgement that the order is unimportant — it needs re-extraction before it goes back on the published surface. PUBLISHED 2026-09-02 (July-hold adjudication by full text): the Eighteenth Circuit AI mandate rescission, verbatim — the tracker's historical entry.
