Summary

"Please format proposed Orders so that the signature line is not alone on a page, or the findings statements (THEREFORE, or ORDERED AND ADJUDGED) are not left alone at the bottom of a page." / "Please capitalize the words Mother and Father when referring directly to the child's or children's parents in a dependency matter." / "we will presume that all Orders uploaded to the JAWS queue have been shared with all parties, and there are no objections."

Reviewer note: CONFLICT NOTED: page text references predecessor "Judge Vance" though the 6/30/26 roster assigns B/F to Judge Brennan — division-attributed pending page update; watch task open. 30-day recheck.
