Orders: Word-Only via OLS, ADA 12-Point Font, Subject-Matter Titles — Division D/DR
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.
Out-of-Custody Defendants Appear In Person for Core Events — Division V
Judge Coates requires defendants not in custody to be physically present for plea conferences, arraignments, calendar calls, motion hearings, and trials; Zoom is allowed only for dispositions and status checks.
Over 10 Pages? Courtesy Copy Goes Hard-Copy by U.S. Mail Only — Division IA
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.
Over 40 Pages Means a Labeled, Tabbed Binder — Division JK

Palm Beach civil DCM: four tracks with hard disposition clocks (AO 3.110)
Every non-exempt new Circuit Civil or County Civil case in Palm Beach is auto-assigned to one of four differentiated case-management tracks, each with a fixed disposition window measured from service on the last defendant or 120 days after commencement.
Palm Beach DCM: agreed orders can extend a deadline but never the trial date — continuances need a DCM conference
Two different channels. A deadline that does not touch trial or Calendar Call can move by agreed order. A trial continuance cannot: it requires a Rule 1.460 motion and a DCM conference set through OLS, and agreed orders are expressly not permitted.
