Unlock free →Once the pleadings have been reviewed, the Judicial Assistant will provide you with a hearing date and time. Upon confirming the availability of the non-moving party, the moving party shall prepare and serve the non-moving, and email the Division/Judicial Assistant a copy of the Notice of Hearing on your Motion. It is NOT the Judicial Assistants responsibility to ensure or confirm that the non-moving party has received notice. The Notice shall include the date and time of the hearing and the length of time set aside for the hearing. Hearings WILL NOT be set without a Notice of Hearing from the parties. Hearings will take place in-person in Courtroom WW06160 at the Broward County Courthouse, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
Reviewer note: Document sha256: 1143a1519214e9750f09efbe3b5ff7b196d3853a789657b0522934cc4b0bcd28. Corpus topic: REMOTE_ZOOM_POLICY. Published during the completeness pass — the audit found 2,753 verbatim requirements against 123 published rules. GOOGLE DOCS VEIN: 102 of the Seventeenth Circuit's 106 division procedure documents are published as Google Docs (docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-...), not as PDFs on the court's own host. Two consecutive fetches of the same Google Doc URL return DIFFERENT bytes — Google injects per-request session config — so the document_sha256 recorded here pins one render, not a stable identity, and content-hash change detection does not work on this vein. Re-verified live 2026-07-24 by text presence instead: six sampled documents still carried 100%, 100%, 100%, 91%, 100% and 100% of their published requirements.
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).
