Unlock free →Parties may appear over ZOOM for case dispositions and status checks regardless of the day scheduled. HOWEVER, any defense counsel appearing via Zoom must confer with the State ahead of time regarding the status of case . All other hearings require advance permission of the Court for requested remote appearance. Any request for a ZOOM hearing must be made by written motion filed with the Clerk and served on all opposing parties no later than three (3) days before the scheduled hearing. Please email CAD-DivisionL@pbcgov.org to request a hearing or with any questions or concerns.
Reviewer note: Complete-coverage record. Page sha256: b64695c9ebb40406c7e8a99b4b38e354a2ffcb8e88a5cf26a1fa20b3cae95314. Clauses under 60 characters (navigation labels and section headings) were excluded; 628 such fragments were dropped circuit-wide. A separate curated highlight rule may cover one of these clauses with a sharper title — de-duplication is an open curation task, not a data gap.
Most hearings set for 30 minutes or less are conducted by Zoom in CV-A; the setting order/notice prevails. Telephonic appearance is allowed if opposing counsel doesn't object — request it when scheduling.
In CV-B the parties agree whether attendance is Zoom or in person; hybrid is permitted, and the Notice of Hearing must state Hearing Room 701 with the division's published Zoom ID (275-150-7351).
In CV-C, appearing by Zoom is a privilege (log in five minutes early; Court hosts); presenting testimony remotely — any hearing or non-jury trial, any length — requires a written motion showing good cause under Rule 2.530(b)(2).
