Titles shown as circuit judges, county judges, and quasi-judicial officers per the official directory.
Judge Rex requires continuance motions at least ten days before the scheduled court date; Local Rule 4 and Rule 1.202 conferral are mandatory.
Judge Bonavita grants remote appearance only on a written motion filed with the Clerk and served on all opposing parties at least three business days before the hearing; short motions file with a Notice of Hearing plus a CAD-email courtesy copy.
Judge Bryson runs the tightest continuance window in the courthouse — at least 24 hours before the court date — with hearing materials due 2 business days out and jury instructions e-mailed one day before trial.
Judge Damico's order specs are exacting: OLS submission in Word only, "DONE and ORDERED in Palm Beach County, Florida," every party's name and address, subject matter in the title, 1-inch margins, 12-point ADA-accessible font.
Judge Burkhart's UMC checklist: provide the testifying party's driver license, the settlement agreement, parenting plan, and child-support guideline worksheet — orders within two days after via OLS.
Judge Burke disfavors Zoom: plan for in-person hearings, with injunction hearings on Mondays at 2 PM in Courtroom 2C.
Judge Rowe routes hearings longer than 30 minutes through Case Management (not OLS); materials including case law due 3 business days out; remote appearance means camera on, microphone muted.
Judge Burke hears motions to modify no-contact with minor children ONLY on Thursdays at 11:00 AM — and a DCF recommendation is required before the modification is heard.
Judge Schosberg Feuer: shorter courtesy copies arrive three business days before the hearing, but documents exceeding 10 pages total must come as a hard copy via U.S. mail only.
Judge Burton: orders arrive via OLS within 48 hours after (or up to 48 hours before) the hearing, the notes/comments section MUST carry his designated label (AGREED ORDER, ORDER AFTER HEARING, DISPUTED ORDER, FUTURE PROPOSED ORDER, PROBATE EX PARTE ORDER), and the date line reads "DONE and ORDERED in Palm Beach County, Florida."
Judge Weiss pulled discovery-compel motions off Zoom entirely: all Motions to Compel Discovery are set for in-person hearings; special sets are requested by e-mail (not OLS) with the motion attached.
Judge Corlew permits remote appearance only without objection and with approval — and never at eviction mediations or final hearings without prior approval.
