FACDL INFORMATION YOU DIDN'T KNOW YOU NEEDED

 One proposition bet we missed reporting was the total offensive yards of both teams versus the number of emails the president of the Miami Chapter of the FACDL would send out the Monday following the game. It is close as to which is the greater number. 

First up County Court Zoom Bench Trials. Before you overreact, lets us repeat- County Court...take a deep breath...a bench trial. So, those undersized Snook cases, expectorating on the sidewalk (more serious in days of covid then in days of lore), and disorderly intoxication cases can finally be tried. Save your gripping about the immediacy of witnesses and their reactions, put on a shirt and tie, and try those cases. Nobody wins a case by making a Snook wince on cross. That only happens in the movies (or on DOM's Podcast).

Next  up are those all important procedures for DV motions -non emergency only (non-emergency...which is puzzling. Aren't all DV cases by definition an "emergency!"?) 

 
And finally everything you wanted to know about Juvenile Court but were afraid to ask (which includes us...a multi-decade streak of never entering said courthouse or handling said juvenile cases)
First up, something called a Detention Shelter Rotation Calendar. Sounds intimidating. Detention and shelter cannot be good. Personally we suggest avoiding such star-chambers, whatever they may be.

Next up A UCC zoom Directory. Sounds useful...Of course in law school we did much better in crim procedure than contracts which is why we ended up in criminal law. Never saw the fun in walking around quoting the UCC all the time when contracts were broken when there were Snook cases to defend. Let's see what we can remember..."An offer is an manifestation of willingness to enter into a contract, so made to another...blah blah blah"

 
And finally Your UCC Judicial Directory, Can't tell the players without a scorecard is what they used to yell outside the ball park when games were played during the day and there was no designated hitter. This is your Judge Scorecard. Revel in it and enjoy.
