Broward AO 2023-22-CO — County Civil Case Assignment for Filings by Barfield McCain & Ayoub, P.A. (firm-specific carve-out)

High confidence· verified July 19, 2026Administrative Orders

Summary

Requirement

LIVE attorney/firm-specific assignment order (verified verbatim from the hashed order): finding that the volume of county court civil cases filed by the law firm of Barfield McCain & Ayoub P.A. "has created an inequitable distribution of cases," all county civil cases filed by an attorney of that firm — or any other law firm in which any of its attorneys is a principal — are assigned by random distribution at the central courthouse, with transfer provisions for satellite filings. This is a workload-equalization assignment carve-out (not a merits-recusal order) — the judicial-intelligence class the 20th Circuit orders also carry.
