Eleventh Judicial Circuit (Miami-Dade). Procedural information only; not legal advice.
• The undersigned Chief Judge, independently, or at the request of the administrative or trial judge assigned to preside over a proceeding of great public interest, may instruct the Court Public Information Officer (“PIO”) to implement the procedures set forth within this Administrative Order. • The duties of the media committee shall include: designating pool coverage and camera locations in accordance with Rule 2.450, Fla. R. Jud. Adm.; recommending to the administrative judge suitable interview and press conference areas; assisting with the allocation of court-issued press credentials and courtroom seating assignments; overseeing the dissemination of information and providing a clearinghouse for media/court issues arising during the case; equipping the media room(s); working with the court to accommodate other special needs of the media; and setting up a final meeting of media personnel a few days prior to the commencement of the proceedings to explain procedures and instructions. • No more than one manned video camera, one remote-controlled video camera, and one still photography camera will be allowed in the courtroom, except as may be otherwise authorized by the Chief Judge or his designee. Locations for these cameras will be coordinated in advance with the Court PIO. • So as not to interfere with court proceedings or with a litigant or interested party’s rights, no interviews are permitted within or immediately outside the courtroom at any time. Media personnel shall ensure that no hallways, exits or emergency exits are blocked by media equipment and/or media personnel. Due to public access issues and life safety concerns, any interviews to be conducted immediately outside the Richard E. Gerstein Justice Building shall be held in the areas designated for that purpose. • For trials held in courtrooms of the Richard E. Gerstein Justice Building, the areas both inside and outside the courtrooms will be monitored by Court Liaison Officers of the Miami-Dade Police Department. All persons entering the courtroom areas must pass through a metal detector and conform to such other appropriate security measures as is deemed appropriate by the Miami-Dade Police Department. Such measures may include requiring photo identification from any person who wishes to enter a courtroom. • All persons, including media personnel, shall recognize and comply with the order of any judge regarding the order and control of persons in courthouse facility hallways, corridors, courtrooms, and judicial chambers. • At the close of each day during the trial or proceeding, there will be an opportunity for the defense counsel, plaintiff’s counsel, state attorney, or their respective representatives, to answer questions from the media. Whether they avail themselves of this opportunity is solely at their discretion and convenience. An area to conduct such interviews will be determined on a case by case basis and as needed after the undersigned Chief Judge has conferred with the administrative judge, trial judge, PIO and other such interested parties. An order from the Chief Judge, or his designee, containing and outlining such designations and instructions will be distributed accordingly. • In responding to such media questions, as prescribed in Fla. Bar Rule 4- 3.6, counsel shall not make an extrajudicial statement that a reasonable person would expect to be disseminated by means of public communication if counsel knows or reasonably should know that it will have a substantial likelihood of materially prejudicing an adjudicative proceeding due to its creation of an imminent and substantial detrimental effect on that proceeding. • No disruptions, interference, outbursts, public demonstrations, loud or intrusive noises or distractions shall be permitted in the courtroom or its immediate surroundings. Anyone who fails to maintain decorum may be removed from the courtroom and/or banned from the courtroom for the duration of the trial. • All public, press and media activities within, outside of, and around the Courthouse must be in conformance with all city and county ordinances and state and federal laws and statutes. Court staff and county staff will accommodate the media and the general public to fullest extent possible within the guidelines of this Order and Rule 2.450.
The undersigned Chief Judge, independently, or at the request of the administrative or trial judge assigned to preside over a proceeding of great public interest, may instruct the Court Public Information Officer (“PIO”) to implement the procedures set forth within this Administrative Order.
