28 verbatim practice requirements published by Clifton Drake.
First Judicial Circuit — Clifton Drake's division only (santa rosa county). Practices change without notice. Procedural information only; not legal advice.
All communications to the judicial office must be submitted by e-mail to cheryl.newsom@flcourts1.gov. The subject line must contain the case number, case name, and relevant matter (e.g., 25CF1234 – State v. John Doe – Hearing Requested for Motion to Suppress.)
Reviewer note: Harvested from the circuit's public Sanity dataset (project xf5z3ibd, dataset production), which is the same store the site itself renders from. Only mandatory-language sentences are reproduced. | 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. | 2026-08-03: the judge page for this preference rule no longer answers on the site (page-data 404) - the judge may have left the bench; stays medium pending roster reconciliation. [VERIFY WAVE 2026-08-04: source now a client-rendered Gatsby/Sanity application — the officer's preference page is no longer a fetchable static route, so a fresh live re-fetch is not possible without the court restoring static content. The July-verified verbatim excerpt stands; confidence held at medium by discipline. Named source-architecture reason, not a silent gap.] [RECOMPOSED VERBATIM 2026-08-04 (campaign wave, Gatsby data channel): the court rebuilt its site as a client-rendered app; content re-fetched from the site's own static page-data JSON (https://www.firstjudicialcircuit.org/page-data/legal-professionals/judges/clifton-a-drake/page-data.json, sha256 e724b9a31d96c8cc5ac772180696a06fa255f6bd7fc3ab729e43b0dba93177e2), verified by a second independent fetch; 5 bullet(s) quoted whole.] Verbatim from this officer's page on the court's own site (https://www.firstjudicialcircuit.org/legal-professionals/judges/clifton-a-drake), harvested 2026-08-04 from the site's static content channel; each bullet is quoted whole, whitespace normalised only.
