5 verbatim requirements on judge preferences.
Seventeenth Judicial Circuit — Judge Thomas J. Coleman only. Practices change without notice; the court's own published text controls. Procedural information only; not legal advice.
If the Trial is set at a Calendar Call, the Court expects that the parties will be ready to begin jury selection on THE SAME DAY or THE FOLLOWING DAY. Special Set Trials may be requested by filing a motion requesting a special set date. At the hearing to set the Special Set Trial, the parties must be familiar with the schedule of the witnesses and parties. Special Set Trials will begin on the set date, subject to trial priority. Trials may be sent to other available Judges. If the parties jointly find another division Judge to hear a Trial, the Court will consider sending the Trial to the agreed-upon division. Trials within divisions will be prioritized based on the age of cases, custody status, speedy Trial, and special set, not necessarily in that order.
