Reviewer note: Document sha256: 829743da1ea7fbc501e698ace5979b886e732276a82d9aeb2c7ce04bb172b148 (157621 bytes). BenchPath harvested this circuit itself because no research corpus existed for it.

Judge Costello's AI section simply restates amended Rule 2.515(d)(2) — the post-AOSC26-12 statewide standard — a compliance model, not a local mandate: signers certify cited authorities exist and are accurately cited, with the rule's own sanctions.
The strongest in-the-wild confirmation of the 2026 statewide AI rule: Judge Bantner's page expressly states his prior AI requirements are REMOVED because of the May 28, 2026 amendment of Rule 2.515 — signing a filing now itself certifies the authorities exist and are accurately cited.
