Verbatim from the order's own text layer, harvested 2026-07-24; whitespace normalised only. No OCR was used. Only sentences containing mandatory language (shall, must, may not, no later than, within N) are reproduced — the full document is in custody and is the controlling text. • This directive shall not apply to the reopening of existing family law cases. • Two new family law divisions, Divisions “Y/L” and Division “Y/M” shall be created. 3. • Of all new family law cases filed, the distribution to the division shall be: • An Order of Referral to General Magistrate shall be entered in all Division “Y/L” and Division “Y/M” cases immediately upon filing. 5. • The circuit judges assigned to Divisions “L” and “M” shall also be assigned to Divisions “Y/L” and “Y/M”, respectively. -- 1 of 2 -- 6.

Reviewer note: Document sha256: f4a2d6bffe54ba7122449806453cd109e6c02e0c6d48bfd4cc444bb0300a5651 (42710 bytes). BenchPath harvested this circuit itself because no research corpus existed for it. Extraction is conservative: mandatory-language sentences only, so this rule is a faithful subset of the order, never a summary of it.
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.
