Verbatim text from the official compilation; running page headers were stripped mechanically and every extraction is SHA-256 hash-pinned. Rules are procedure — how cases move — not legal advice about your case. Amendments happen mid-cycle; for anything urgent, confirm against the current official compilation at floridabar.org.
