What applies in this courtroom
140 verified requirements may apply in this courtroom, by layer: 11 published by Judge Ori Silver · 119 county-wide · 0 circuit-wide · 10 statewide — with 6 rule deadlines across those layers. Only the judge's own rules are specific to this courtroom; the other layers apply by court, county and state scope, and a court- or case-specific order can displace them.
The tabs below show the judge-and-division layer only. The Full Premium Report assembles the complete stack — every requirement, deadline table, ruling intelligence, live case-type scan, and source appendix in one cited document.

County Civil — Division RS
Courtroom 2W-158
On this assignment since June 8, 2026
South County Courthouse — 2W-158 / courtroom 7
Remote-appearance requests five days ahead; UMC and non-evidentiary matters 30 minutes or less may be remote; motions scheduled within 30 days and heard within 60 or may be treated as abandoned; DCM conferences Tuesday 10:00 a.m. PROFILE GAP: this seat appears on the live /judges roster but the circuit publishes NO individual profile page for it — confirmed against both the rendered roster and the sitemap (2026-07-24).
Verified 2026-08-03: the 15th's own judges grid publishes assignment and phone facts but no biography prose. A court fact, not a harvest gap.
Captured verbatim from the court's own published pages and orders during circuit verification. Chambers practices change without notice — confirm anything time-critical with the judicial assistant. Procedural information only; not legal advice.
Appeals from this courtroom go to the Fourth District Court of Appeal (West Palm Beach).

No judge-scoped deadlines on this tab. Deadlines are extracted only when the source rule text states them — we never infer or calculate dates the rule does not explicitly contain. 6 rule deadlines apply in this courtroom across all layers — assembled with citations in the Full Premium Report.
Timing shown here is quoted from the rule text. Compute your actual date against the court's calendar and the rule itself — not legal advice.
No verified ruling summary yet. BenchPath generates ruling summaries from opinion and docket corpora (CourtListener where covered) and publishes them only after human review — fabricated judicial analytics are exactly what this platform refuses to ship.
