Supreme Court of Florida Amendment on Use of AI

On May 28, 2026, the Supreme Court of Florida announced an Amendment to the Florida Rule of General Practice and Judicial Administration 2.515(d)(2)(Representation by Signer) “to require the signer of a document filed with the Florida’s courts to represent that the legal authorities identified exist and are accurately cited.” It is important to note that this amendment applies both to filings prepared by attorneys and to filings prepared by unrepresented parties.

In the Amendment, the Supreme Court of Florida states these amendments were made due to the demonstrated risks of generative AI and to promote accuracy and integrity of court filings. It is important to highlight as well that the amendment provides that the Court may “impose sanctions for any filing inconsistent with the representation after providing the signer notice an opportunity to be heard, sanctions may include reprimand, contempt, striking of the document, dismissal of proceedings, costs, attorneys’ fees, or other sanctions.”

These amendments shall be effective June 15, 2026, at 12:01 a.m.
