The Eighth Circuit never adopted an attorney/litigant AI disclosure or certification order — a full sweep of all 262 hashed administrative orders and 768 per-document receipts found no filer-facing AI provision (the Harvey and "co-counsel" hits were false positives). The circuit's only current local AI provision is internal: AO 10.07 (v5, Acceptable Computer Use Policies, eff. Jan 30, 2026) §13 permits court staff to use AI tools "when such use is specifically authorized" and bars feeding CJI, confidential or sealed case information, PII, or network details to external AI services. Filers are governed solely by statewide law: amended Rule 2.515(d)(2) (SC2026-0673) and AOSC26-12 (both eff. June 15, 2026).
AO 10.07 §13 binds court staff/technology use — it is NOT a filing requirement. No AI certification or disclosure is required of filers in the Eighth Circuit beyond statewide Rule 2.515(d)(2).
13. Artificial Intelligence — Artificial intelligence tools (including but not limited to chatbots, text or image generators, and coding assistants) may be used for work-related purposes when such use is specifically authorized and conducted in accordance with all confidentiality, privacy, and security requirements. AI tools must not be used to process, store, transmit, or otherwise disclose Criminal Justice Information (CJI), confidential or sealed case information, personally identifiable information, internal network details, or any other information that could compromise the Court, its data, or its systems.
Quoted verbatim from hashed bytes (sha256 d17f285f…, re-fetched byte-identical 2026-07-24). Negative finding backed by 768 per-document receipts; 36 unsearchable PDFs named, none plausibly an AI order.
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.
