Official rule; awaiting reverification against the current source text. Verify with the clerk, judicial assistant, or official court website before relying on it.

Summary

The circuit publishes its duty-judge roster as a live SharePoint workbook and warns that downloaded or printed versions may become inaccurate because the roster is updated frequently. Verify duty assignments at use time from the live page.

Requirement

Official warning (Duty Judge Roster page, fetched 2026-07-20): downloaded/printed versions of the roster may become inaccurate because the live roster is frequently updated. County-level rotations also appear in administrative orders: Citrus monthly rotation in C-2025-45-D (2026 table); Hernando duty in H-2025-59-A (eff. 1/1/2026) + weekly duty schedule page; Sumter CY2026 rotation in S-2025-52; Marion weekend/after-hours rotation per M-2025-62-B ¶6-7 (Friday-noon duty handoff).

Reviewer note: Page hashed 2026-07-20; live SharePoint workbook target recorded. Volatile by design — treat as live-lookup. | Set to in_review 2026-07-26: the order's subject looks practitioner-facing but the extracted text captured only recitals or an effective date, not the operative ORDERED section. This is an extraction defect, not a judgement that the order is unimportant — it needs re-extraction before it goes back on the published surface. PUBLISHED 2026-09-02 (July-hold adjudication by full text): practice-relevant duty-judge lookup guidance from the circuit's own roster page and the county rotation orders.
