Administrative Order 2019-06 (First Appearance and Pretrial Detention Procedures), amended through a 2nd Amendment (effective October 1, 2025), governs first-appearance and pretrial-detention practice circuit-wide. The 1st Amendment directs Franklin, Gadsden, Jefferson, Liberty, and Wakulla to fax documents to the Leon County Detention Center. The binary is unrecoverable from the court's endpoint (metadata verified live from the active ledger).
Criminal first appearances, all six counties. Binary UNRECOVERABLE (court endpoint serves DB output; no Archive snapshot) — this rule is built from the verified ledger metadata and the statewide first-appearance framework, not the order body.
