Judge Feltel requires trial counsel personally at pre-trial conferences ("A CRITICAL STAGE"), holds all 30-minute-plus hearings in person, and has retired the binder era: courtesy materials 5 days ahead electronically, voluminous sets on a flash drive.
Florida > Fourth Judicial Circuit > Duval County > Circuit Civil Division CV-H (Judge G. L. Feltel, Jr.)
"PRETRIAL CONFERENCES REPRESENT A CRITICAL STAGE OF THE CASE AND IN PERSON ATTENDANCE BY TRIAL COUNSEL IS REQUIRED." / "All hearings of 30 minutes or more, or for any critical stage of the case, are to occur in-person." / "(if voluminous, please place on a flash drive and deliver to the Court). The Court used to accept large binders of hard copies of the parties' materials. Those days are gone."

Judge Hooi does not usually allow hybrid hearings (one side in person, one virtual); if both sides prefer, everyone may appear in person instead; emergencies route through the clerk to a judge-entered handling order.
