3 verbatim requirements on courtesy copies in JOHN B. BOWMAN's division.
Seventeenth Judicial Circuit (Broward County) — Division 02 only. Divisional procedures change without notice; the division page controls. Procedural information only; not legal advice.
Judge Bowman serves as Chair of the Appellate Division. There are no hearings for appellate matters unless ordered by the Court. All motions are decided on the papers. Matters to be brought before the Court’s attention must be filed with the clerk by appropriate motion and providing electronic courtesy copies by email to appeals@17th.flcourts.org. DO NOT call or email judges, judicial assistants or staff counsel to request a status report regarding a pending appellate proceeding.
Reviewer note: Document sha256: 84af20db564c128d16aa10103a0815142c2f29ccbd91a11c80719928ca0cd2d0. Corpus topic: COURTESY_COPIES. Published during the completeness pass — the audit found 2,753 verbatim requirements against 123 published rules. GOOGLE DOCS VEIN: 102 of the Seventeenth Circuit's 106 division procedure documents are published as Google Docs (docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-...), not as PDFs on the court's own host. Two consecutive fetches of the same Google Doc URL return DIFFERENT bytes — Google injects per-request session config — so the document_sha256 recorded here pins one render, not a stable identity, and content-hash change detection does not work on this vein. Re-verified live 2026-07-24 by text presence instead: six sampled documents still carried 100%, 100%, 100%, 91%, 100% and 100% of their published requirements.
