[PREEMPTED] AI Disclosure & Certification Mandate — Circuit Civil H
[PREEMPTED effective June 15, 2026 by Rule 2.515(d)(2) and AOSC26-12.] Judge Helene Daniel's page still displays her own AI disclosure-and-certification mandate with sanctions including dismissal.
No Binders Under 30 Minutes; Mailed-Only Binders at 45+ — Circuit Civil H
Judge Daniel splits binder practice by hearing length: short hearings (UMC 5–7 min, CMC 15/30) get NO binders with authority filed 3 business days ahead; 45-minute-plus hearings may have binders — but only by mail or courthouse drop-off, never e-mail.
