Reviewer note: Verified against the live official page on 2026-07-04. 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. [RECOMPOSED VERBATIM 2026-08-04 (campaign wave, fully-anchored): 2 bullet(s) quoted whole from the live page, sha256 8dbae4c5d1d45063ac462b700aaeb62f8bacb373e6d294f803a2e4d601a811ca; the prior summary-class text is superseded.] Applicability 2026-09-09 (fix program 2026-09-09, Phase 5, audit M7): specific -> universal — the row binds every court in its state/circuit/county scope and names no court, judge or division. Verbatim from the division's live instruction page (https://flcourts18.org/e-filing-instructions/), harvested 2026-08-04; each bullet is quoted whole from the page, whitespace normalised only.
