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.
All filings in Hardee, Highlands and Polk Counties. This is a verified negative, not an absence of research: BenchPath fetched and searched all 374 live administrative and special orders and all 104 judge-page procedure documents (478 documents) on 2026-07-22. Thirty-nine of those have no text layer and cannot be searched, so each was rasterized and read visually — none is an AI order. Terms swept: artificial intelligence, word-bounded AI, generative, ChatGPT, large language model, machine learning, hallucinat, Copilot, Gemini, Claude, Harvey, Lexis+AI, Co-Counsel. The only matches were "A.I.M." (the circuit's Anger is Manageable co-parenting course, AO 5-21.2) and Judge Harvey A. Kornstein's name.
No administrative order, special order, division order, magistrate policy or judge-specific procedure in the 10th Judicial Circuit imposes an artificial-intelligence disclosure, certification, or tool-identification requirement. What governs is statewide: every signer represents under amended Rule 2.515(d)(2) (SC2026-0673) that the legal authorities cited exist and are accurately cited, and AOSC26-12 bars circuits and judges from imposing separate AI requirements through local administrative orders, court policies, or judicial practices and procedures. AI-assisted drafting is not prohibited; the signer bears responsibility for verifying every citation.
Courts may not impose such requirements - whether through local administrative orders, court policies, judicial practices and procedures, or other means. [AOSC26-12]
The 17th Circuit's circuit-wide AI disclosure/certification mandate (Jan 2026, twice amended) was VACATED in its entirety effective June 15, 2026 by Chief Judge Phillips's AO 2026-19-Gen, expressly citing the statewide framework (AOSC26-12; Rule 2.515(d)(2), SC2026-0673). Several division procedure pages still cite the vacated order.
Every circuit-civil case reviewed within 120 days of commencement and assigned a track (complex, streamlined, or general); case management orders required; firm continuance policy; sanctions for missed deadlines. Rescinds AO 21-09.
Circuit-civil hearing-availability standards: motion calendars ~2 weeks from request; 15-30 min special sets within 45-60 days; longer special sets scale.
