Fla. 3d Jud. Cir. GAO No. 2026-020, "Regulation and Use of Courtrooms" (p. 10)
With seven counties sharing limited courtrooms, the circuit states a hard precedence rule for court space.
Fla. 3d Jud. Cir. GAO No. 2026-020, Circuit Court assignment tables (pp. 1–3)
GAO 2026-020 does something most circuits do not: for each division in each county it names a first and second fallback judge for disqualifications and recusals. If you need to know who your case goes to on a recusal, the order tells you.
Fla. 3d Jud. Cir. General Assignment of Judges No. 2026-020, July 1, 2026 – December 31, 2026 (Olin, C.J., June 5, 2026)
Every division assignment across Columbia, Dixie, Hamilton, Lafayette, Madison, Suwannee and Taylor Counties is set by General Assignment of Judges No. 2026-020. Unlike most circuits' assignment orders, this one is semiannual and lapses on a fixed date.
Fla. R. Civ. P. 1.202
Under the 2025 case-management amendments, a movant must confer with the opposing party in a good-faith effort to resolve a nondispositive motion before filing it, and must include a certificate of conferral.
Fla. Fam. L. R. P. 12.610; § 741.30, Fla. Stat.
A DV injunction petition is reviewed promptly; the court may issue a temporary injunction ex parte, and when it does, a full evidentiary hearing is generally set within 15 days. There is no filing fee.
Florida Courts E-Filing Portal; Fla. R. Gen. Prac. & Jud. Admin. 2.525
Florida attorneys must file court documents electronically through the statewide Florida Courts E-Filing Portal (myflcourtaccess.com). Self-represented litigants may e-file through the same portal. Local circuits layer their own formatting and routing quirks on top.
Fla. R. Gen. Prac. & Jud. Admin. 2.516
Service of pleadings and documents after the initial pleading is made by e-mail — in practice through the Florida Courts E-Filing Portal's e-service feature — to the designated service addresses on file.
BenchPath statewide AI stale-publication audit, July 22, 2026 (53 sources re-fetched and sha256-hashed; evidence in repo docs/handoff/ai-audit-2026-07/)
Only Rule 2.515(d)(2) binds you statewide. Five circuits rescinded their AI orders outright — but the SEVENTH CIRCUIT's G-2026-045-SC has never been rescinded and is still posted with sanctions language. It is preempted and unenforceable, yet it remains the circuit's most recent general administrative order. Dozens of judge pages statewide also still publish AI mandates.
Fla. Fam. L. R. P. 12.285
Parties in dissolution and most family financial cases must exchange a financial affidavit and specified financial documents within 45 days of service of the initial pleading, file a certificate of compliance, and supplement as circumstances change.
Fla. R. App. P. 9.110
An appeal of a final order must be commenced by filing a notice of appeal within 30 days of rendition of the order. This deadline is jurisdictional — missing it generally ends the appeal.
Fla. Sm. Cl. R. 7.090
Small claims cases (up to $8,000) begin with a mandatory pretrial conference where the court narrows issues and typically orders mediation. Failure to appear can result in default or dismissal.
In re: Amends. to Fla. R. Gen. Prac. & Jud. Admin. 2.515, No. SC2026-0673 (Fla. May 28, 2026); Fla. R. Gen. Prac. & Jud. Admin. 2.515(d)(2); AOSC26-12
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.
Fla. R. Civ. P. 1.510
Florida follows the federal summary-judgment standard. The motion must be served at least 40 days before the hearing; the nonmovant's response is due no later than 20 days before the hearing.
