Eighth Circuit — no AI disclosure mandate for filers was ever adopted; AO 10.07 (v5) governs AI use by court staff only

High confidence· verified September 9, 2026Administrative Orders8th Cir. Admin. Order 10.07 (v5), Acceptable Computer Use Policies (eff. Jan. 30, 2026), §13

Summary

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).

Applies to

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).

Reviewer note: | 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. | Re-extracted 2026-07-26 from the numbered paragraphs following the order's ORDERED clause, replacing a first pass that had captured recitals and the effective date. Verbatim from the operative section of this order, re-extracted 2026-07-26; whitespace normalised only. [moved from the text 2026-09-14]
