Not legal advice. BenchPath provides procedural information compiled from official public sources. BenchPath's materials are not a substitute for the advice of an attorney or for attorney judgment; they create no attorney–client relationship, and does not guarantee acceptance of any filing by any court. Court sources change without notice — verify urgent deadlines with the court, the clerk, or the judicial assistant. Every rule card shows its source, confidence level, and last-verified date; treat anything below high confidence as a lead, not an answer.

Statewide AI-Era Certification: Every Signer Certifies Cited Authorities Exist — Rule 2.515(d)(2)

Effective June 15, 2026, every signer of a Florida court filing — attorney or self-represented — represents that "the legal authorities identified exist and are accurately cited," with express sanctions (reprimand, contempt, striking, dismissal, costs, fees) for violations. Companion order AOSC26-12 preempts ALL circuit- and judge-level AI disclosure/certification requirements.

Proposed OrdersDuval County · Judge Waddell A. Wallace, III

Proposed Orders: Word via E-Portal Only — Never Dual-Submit — Division CV-A

Proposed orders go to the Court in Word format through the e-portal with an explanatory cover letter. Submitting the same order by both e-portal and email risks duplicate entry; with unrepresented parties, counsel must mail copies and file a Notice of Service.

Remote / Zoom HearingsDuval County · Judge Waddell A. Wallace, III

Hearings ≤30 Minutes Default to Zoom; Telephonic Allowed Absent Objection — Division CV-A

Most hearings set for 30 minutes or less are conducted by Zoom in CV-A; the setting order/notice prevails. Telephonic appearance is allowed if opposing counsel doesn't object — request it when scheduling.

Hard Copies Required for Filings of 20+ Pages, 3–5 Business Days Before Hearing — Division CV-A

For motions, memoranda, or case law of 20 pages or more, Judge Wallace requires hard copies inside the Courthouse three to five business days before the hearing — by mail, FedEx, UPS, or hand delivery.
