Judge Damico's order specs are exacting: OLS submission in Word only, "DONE and ORDERED in Palm Beach County, Florida," every party's name and address, subject matter in the title, 1-inch margins, 12-point ADA-accessible font.
Judge Keever-Agrama's office is the courthouse outlier: it does not communicate via e-mail at all — call the Judicial Assistant, including for special-set dates.
