INTRODUCTION Rule 1.010 of the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure and the Rules of Judicial Administration encourage the speedy, just and inexpensive determination of every action, and impose on the trial court the duty to monitor and manage the docket in order to achieve this goal. To that end, these policies and procedures are published to assist counsel appearing in Division CV-B by addressing routine questions and issues that arise while litigating and trying cases and will be revised/updated periodically. They are not intended to relax or supplant the Florida Statutes, the Florida Rules of Court, local rules of Court, administrative orders, case specific court • II. SETTING MATTERS FOR TRIAL A. Projected Trial Period: The Court, on its own initiative, for all cases governed by Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.200, will enter an initial case management order setting a projected trial date and specifying no less than the projected pretrial deadlines required in Rule 1.200(d)(2) (A-I), Fla. R. Civ. P. • C. Actual Trial Period. The Court will prepare the Case Management Order Setting Trial Period. • 3 If the case settles after it is set for trial, the parties shall immediately notify the court so that the trial and all pending hearings may be removed from the court’s calendar. • III. IN-PERSON AND REMOTE APPEARANCES Counsel, witnesses and all unrepresented parties are required to attend all hearings longer than 30 minutes in person. Prior to coming to the hearing, please ensure that counsel’s access badge to the hearing room is activated so that counsel may enter the hearing room at or before the time set for the hearing. The Court’s hearing schedule often results in “back-to-back” hearings that do not allow time for the Court to let counsel into the hearing room early. Unless the Court announces otherwise, the Court’s hearings are public proceedings, and any party or counsel may come into the hearing room early to observe other proceedings.
The parties shall complete all information in the form, including the desired mediator and trial date, and submit it as an e-mail attachment to the Court’s judicial assistant.
