Courtesy Hard Copies of 20+ Page Materials: Inside the Courthouse 3–5 Business Days Before the Hearing — Division CV-A
If counsel would like Judge Wallace to have courtesy copies of motions, memoranda of law, or case law of 20 pages or more for a hearing, the Division CV-A procedures say the hard copies should be inside the Courthouse at least three to five business days before the scheduled hearing, by U.S. mail, FedEx, UPS, or hand delivery.
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.
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.
[PREEMPTED] AI Certificate Required Above Every Signature Block — Division CV-E
Judge Bruce R. Anderson, Jr.'s September 2025 Division CV-E policies and procedures (section XXXII) required anyone filing AI-generated content to disclose it and insert the court's Exhibit "C" Artificial Intelligence Certificate above the signature block. Effective June 15, 2026, Rule 2.515(d)(2) and AOSC26-12 preempted court-imposed AI disclosure and certification requirements; the September 2025 document is still posted on the division page.
150-Day Case Management Conference & Trial Setting — Division CV-E
CV-E runs a structured 150-day case management conference track with published CMO templates for jury, non-jury, and complex settings, plus a projected-vs-actual trial period system and 2026–2027 published trial calendars.
Ex Parte Hearings: Uncontested Only, 5 Minutes, 9–10 a.m. — Division CV-E
Ex parte in CV-E is strictly for uncontested matters resolvable in five minutes or less, held 9:00–10:00 a.m. on posted dates (website and outside Hearing Room 739). In-person, telephonic, Zoom, and hybrid appearances are permitted under Rule 2.530.
Proposed Orders: Circulate in 3 Working Days, Submit Within 7 — Division CV-E
When counsel is asked to prepare an order after a hearing, it must be drafted and circulated to opposing counsel within three working days and submitted to the Court within seven days of the hearing.
Two Conferral Certificates: Before Filing AND Before Setting Hearing — Division CV-E
CV-E layers a second conferral on top of Rule 1.202: certify conferral before filing the motion (Exhibit A) and again before scheduling it for hearing (Exhibit B).
"General Objections" Get Stricken — With Monetary Sanctions — Division CV-H
Judge Feltel's discovery regime: General Objections are stricken and sanctioned, untimely responses presumptively waive objections, unverified interrogatory answers do not count, and Rule 1.380 fee-shifting to the prevailing party is the DEFAULT.
20+ Pages of Hearing Materials → Binder Delivered TWO WEEKS Early — Division CV-D
Judge Norton requires a binder at the courthouse no later than two weeks before hearing when materials collectively exceed 20 pages — and bars email entirely past 30 pages.
2026 FSC-Template Procedures; Defendant In Person at FPT — Division CC-F
Judge Lee (roster: Shayla Lee; her PDF prints "Shaya E. Lee" — spelling under review) publishes 2026 procedures on the Florida Supreme Court template: 9:30 a.m. start, E-Portal orders with courtesy copies to the JA, and the defendant present IN PERSON at the Final Pre-Trial Conference.
