High confidence· verified September 9, 2026Proposed Orders13th Jud. Cir., Juv. Delinquency B/F Procedures & Preferences (published under Judge Brennan)

Summary

The Delinquency B/F division publishes unusually granular order-formatting rules: PDFs created from Word (not scans), no signature line or ORDERED-AND-ADJUDGED text alone on a page, Mother/Father capitalized, descriptive titles, "number of number" pagination — with orders in the JAWS queue presumed shared and unobjected.

Applies to

Florida > Thirteenth Judicial Circuit > Hillsborough County > Juvenile Delinquency Divisions B & F (Judge Kim Brennan)

Source of truth

"Please format proposed Orders so that the signature line is not alone on a page, or the findings statements (THEREFORE, or ORDERED AND ADJUDGED) are not left alone at the bottom of a page." / "Please capitalize the words Mother and Father when referring directly to the child's or children's parents in a dependency matter." / "we will presume that all Orders uploaded to the JAWS queue have been shared with all parties, and there are no objections."
