The orders permit AI use in legal work but condition it on human review and accountability. Similar measures have appeared in other Florida circuits, indicating a statewide judicial response rather than isolated local action. The Florida Bar has reported on the developments as part of broader state ethics concerns surrounding AI in legal practice.
The orders address a documented problem: generative AI systems frequently produce fabricated or inaccurate legal citations, misquoted language, and false factual assertions. These "hallucinations" have created real litigation risks. The new requirements establish a concrete compliance obligation in two major court systems effective immediately. Practitioners filing in Miami-Dade or Broward must now disclose AI involvement and certify accuracy or face sanctions. Attorneys should review their AI disclosure policies, implement verification protocols, and monitor whether other Florida circuits adopt similar rules.
