Dear Friends:
Judge Soto and I understand your frustration and we will chat with Chief Judge Joel Brown and our Trial Court Administrator as to what avenues can be pursued to address the parking issue. (Rumpole can't help it- "avenues", parking problems, gridlock. Pretty cute phrase.)
We have improved timely entry into the building for both attorneys and the general public. At 6:15 this morning I sent the e-mail below to our building manager to remind her about the importance of gaining timely entry into REG on a Tuesday following a holiday that falls on Monday.
In fact, at a meeting today, Judge Soto, Judge Brown and I briefly discussed the gridlock issue around NW 12 Avenue.
We will keep you apprised of our discussions and will likely include you in our efforts when we determine which course of action should be pursued.
Thanks,
Sam Slom
Ditto. We will address the issue asap!! Thank you for your patience!
Judge Soto
THE UPS AND DOWNS OF SAM SLOM:
Dear Sabrina, David and Rick:
As you know, each year, the escalators at REG are taken out of service for a period of time (normally 90 days for the service to be completed) for their annual maintenance.
We have requested that the building manager schedule the service during the summer so that it coincides with three judicial educational conferences because the population entering REG is lower during that period. As a consequence, it is hoped that the inconvenience experienced by lawyers will be somewhat minimized because fewer lawyers are noticed to appear during this period.
We have asked that the annual service maintenance begin approximately May 20th and continue thereon for the necessary period. We have also asked that the heaviest used escalators (the lower floors) not have their maintenance performed on our busiest days (the beginning of the week). Contractually, maintenance must be performed annually and there are limitations on when it can be done and the time frame in which it must be completed. Please be assured that we have discussed this issue at length in an attempt to arrive at the best solution.
While we are attempting to minimize the inconvenience escalator servicing has on our REG population, please do keep in mind that the County is ultimately responsible for and in charge of building maintenance. Additionally, due to the age of the building and the machinery therein, occasionally an unanticipated maintenance obstacle rears its head and could affect the timetable we have requested.
Judge Soto and I are mindful of your concerns and we both endeavor to make life at REG as pleasant as possible.
Thank you.
Sam Slom
So there you have it dear readers. Parking problems; escalator issues.
All in the day of the life of the chief judge of county court.
And all in the day in the life of a humble REGJB lawyer, striving for justice, and a few extra bucks to buy that nice bottle of GSM wine to drink this weekend.
See you in court.

Betcha' doughnuts to dollars that the 9:14 and 9:21 postings have the same author.
ill take that bet milt. i wrote 914 and ill bet you a 100 dollars to donuts i didnt write 921. Have Ms. Moneypenny call me to arrange the details.
Did anyone see housewives Miami? Yikes mr. Black! That chick is wack
New Times editorial goes way too far to attack Judge Glazer cause she hates her condo association. It's reckless. She's one of the best judges we have. Crazy.
@9:14--if you're the same poster who wrote the ceremony schedule, you're in the wrong profession. Thank you for that! Funniest thing I've read in a long time.
Ahhh, Moneypenny. I did have a roll in the stacks with her in '72.
Anyone have the list of applicants who put in for CCRC and OCCRC?
Rumpole, I thought that your favorite wine was Chateau Miami River, made with the juice of world-famous Wagner Creek grapes.
Some people respond to their own posts without realizing that they haven't appeared in the blog yet.
Dear Judge Slom et al. Why did I have a case infront of Judge Hague at 9:30 am but did not leave his court room until almost 11:30 am? Please tell me why he must go through the calendar in alphabetical order, refuse to take attorney's out of turn and then wait to be done with every other calendar before going back to a certain time! I lost valuable time, I wept on the inside as precious seconds, minutes, then hours passed away from my not so young life and then were gone forever! Which in turn made me late for every single Judge I had to see that morning. Really annoying. Give the bar some respect.
For what it's worth...been in front of Hirsch a bunch of times already...and he's been nothing but respectful and fair. He makes the attorneys on both sides look good unless they give him a reason not to.
AAronfeld is a total ass. when he was facing a contempt charge from Judge Gordon he brought mommy and daddy to the hearing. what a whiny little snot.
Mmm... Doughnuts !!
Trialmaster
Your answer is: NO MONEY FOR OVERTIME TO PAY THESE GUYS FOR WEEKEND WORK!
Don't you think we thought of this DUMB ASS?
and as long as we are on the subject of MJB inconveniences. why do they often close the bathrooms to clean them between 9:00 am and 10:00am when the building has the highest use?
1:29:00 PM Hirsch is on his best behavior now. It won't last long.
