ACC x Jimerson Birr CLE: Managing Litigation in a New Era: Judicial Perspectives on Rules, Case Management, and Emerging Trends
Date: October 15, 2025
Location: The River Club | 1 Independent Drive Suite 3500 Jacksonville, FL 32202
Registration: 4:30 p.m.
CLE Program & Reception: 5:00 p.m.
Event Description: From sweeping amendments to Florida’s civil procedure rules to the Supreme Court’s directive for more active judicial case management, the rules of engagement in litigation are changing. Judges are tasked with enforcing earlier deadlines, limiting unnecessary discovery, and holding attorneys accountable — all with the goal of faster, more cost-effective outcomes. For corporate counsel, these developments directly affect budgeting, risk assessment, and strategic decision-making. Our panel of judges will discuss how these expectations are applied in Northeast Florida courts, and what in-house counsel need to know about the local rules, practices, and trends shaping litigation today.
Brandon Meadows, Jimerson Birr’s Managing Partner, will be moderating the panel and we will be joined by Judge Feltel (Duval County), Judge Dees (Duval County), Judge Janesk (St. Johns County) and Judge Aho (Nassau County).
Join us for a fun and engaging evening featuring cocktails, savory bites, and great company.
During this interactive event, each attendee will enjoy a mini color analysis session to discover which shades make them shine. We’ll have color tools, books about the seasonal palettes, and plenty of inspiration to help you understand how color can enhance your confidence and professional presence. You’ll also receive a mini palette card to take home, so you can start putting your best colors to work in your wardrobe right away!
What to Expect:
A one-on-one color analysis with a professional analyst
Delicious bites and beverages
Time to mingle with fellow professionals and expand your network
SCHEDULE:
5:00 - 5:30 p.m. Cocktails
