2 verbatim mandatory provisions from 2019 Admin Order 19-24.
Eighteenth Judicial Circuit. Check the order's own effective and rescission dates before relying on it. Procedural information only; not legal advice.
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. • Once an application for return has been filed, the court is required to act expeditiously in the proceedings for the return of the child. • Accordingly, the chief judge of each judicial circuit shall, by May 17, 2019, enter an administrative order designating a judge with primary responsibility for handling Convention cases filed within that jurisdiction.

Reviewer note: Document sha256: de399c40cfaa020483bea6efc0b7d8875de30f3e373deee4ad069912f5b5b8b4 (282696 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.
