Telephone appearances in CV-D require counsel to arrange a single conference call joining all participants and to courtesy-copy the Notice of Hearing to the JA; the JA prepares the first trial order, but every amended trial order falls on plaintiff's counsel.
Florida > Fourth Judicial Circuit > Duval County > Division CV-D (Judge Virginia B. Norton)
"[Counsel appearing] by phone must arrange one conference call to include all others participating." ... "The Judicial Assistant will prepare the first trial order... If the trial is continued, it is the responsibility of the Plaintiff's attorney to prepare any Amended Trial Orders."
Reviewer note: Verbatim excerpts from the judge's published procedures; 30-day recheck scheduled. | 2026-08-03: the source (rendered DOM (headless Chromium)) no longer contains this rule's quoted text; dropped to medium pending re-composition against the current version. [VERIFY WAVE 2026-08-04: order renders only inside the Duval Clerk's application and returned the loading placeholder on the final capture pass, or is a scanned image with no text layer (OCR class); custody holds the document bytes. The July-verified excerpt stands; confidence held at medium pending patient re-capture or OCR. Named reason, not a silent gap.] [RECOMPOSED VERBATIM 2026-08-04 (campaign wave, division-follow): matched the division code on the court's directory to the sitting judge's own procedure document, sha256 6f2cd9b11dc828492421d17f19bf5156558c26c27503bcd62f28d7c5233a5197; source_url repaired to the document quoted.]
