Broward Division FG (MICHAEL I. ROTHSCHILD) — Divisional requirements

Source of truth

Substitution of Counsel will only be granted where the prior attorney, the successor attorney, and the Defendant submit a written motion evidencing authorization and agreement to the substitution. Orders granting the substitution must be submitted to the Court with the motion. If there is no Defendant authorization the substitution will be denied. No substitution will be considered effective without an order of substitution executed by the Court. If a Notice of Appearance is filed without a substitution then both prior attorney and successor attorney will be considered co-counsel. This applies to the Public Defender’s as well until an order of substitution or an order of withdrawal has been entered.

Reviewer note: Document sha256: a9bb22080bf9c291a6927baa70b555c3a3640ccf1f56e7e64aa88e10406e7f53. Corpus topic: AI_LANGUAGE. 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. Verbatim from the published divisional procedures, captured 2026-07-24; whitespace normalised only. [moved from the text 2026-09-14]
