No Zoom? No worries. The REGJB courtesy of your Public Defenders (we think) now has Zoom Kiosks on the second floor for attorneys to use if they are in court in person and need to zoom in elsewhere.
When this courthouse was built in 1960, or maybe in 2000 when people were pondering the future what do you think they discussed? Maybe in 1960 the use of computers (which at the time took up a full room) or that some day women would be judges. In 2000 it was probably just building another courthouse and better parking.
But a Zoom Kiosk? It's the old/ Donald Rumsfeld saying (which he did not invent): There are things you know; there are things you do not know; and there are things you do not know you do not know. Zoom Kiosks fall into that third category.

Zoom Kiosks
There are 2 kiosks on which you can sign onto Zoom links on the 2nd floor of REG. They are located inside Room 231 which is in the hallway on the left just past courtroom 2-10. It’s what used to be the Traffic Clerk’s Office. To enter the hallway near Courtroom 2-10, you need to get buzzed in from the intercom. Another way to reach Room 231 is by walking across from the elevators (in the direction of Courtroom 2-11) and then turning right (instead of going left to court 2-11). Then go through the door and walk all the way down the hallway to room 231. Use the door next to the hallway phone (not the one actually marked as Room 231). To be clear: the door marked Room 231 is locked. So, use the door immediately next to Judge Ruiz's chambers to enter Room 231.
I feel like I’m steering you to a speakeasy.
At the kiosks, DO NOT SIGN IN TO YOUR ZOOM ACCOUNT (like I did). Just enter the Zoom Meeting ID Number and you will enter that courtroom. I’ve posted the Zoom Directory for County Courtrooms, since I think that will be most helpful.
WiFi Access
On your phone’s Settings, click to the network AOCGuestWifi. Then enter Password [email Rumpole or Hellmann for the password. Dumb, we are not]. That will give you access to wifi inside the REG Justice Building. Only problem is that this network will not show up in your Settings unless you’re on the 6th floor or higher.
Hope that helps.

Well now they did it. Blew the July 4 deadline on the State of The Shumie. First time ever. I can just see the billable hours on the shareholder and franchisee lawsuits on this one. Rens in Shanghai, Sydney, Tokyo, Kyoto, Ho Chi Minh City, Krakow, the East End of London, Belfast, Toronto, not to mention the enormous mess at the Wynn in Vegas, and the current lawsuit at the Santa Monica Pier Ren. Newark. Bushwick-Brooklyn; Minneapolis and Austin. All are franchises and now there will be lawsuits. The big firms are lining up.
I'm in Europe. Been there since Covid began last March. Yes I have an EU passport. I use kiosks at Internet Cafes all the time. .89E a minute, but I buy 360 min cards at .20E/min which you can get if you buy in bulk.
Rumpole spotted today in REG 5th floor today, declaiming loudly into his cell phone, mask nowhere in site.
Something about buying the BTC dip
So cutting edge in modern communications is a zoom kiosk? In 1960 (and I remember), the BIC pen was what separated the chic from the mundane. In 2000 (this being Miami), the hottest commodity out there were calling cards sold in every bodega in Overtown and Little Havana.
Good sir. Was it determined who the county court judge is that was requiring counsel’s presence at arraignments? I have a case with a certain judge where we found out that a bench warrant and bond estreature was issued after an arraignment even though our WPNG was filed months before the arraignment and we confirmed that it was properly e-filed and was in the court file. What I was hoping was just an error that would be quickly corrected after a call to the JA now requires a hearing on Friday. I want to be prepared for what this judge might state in opposition to written pleas in lieu of personal appearance of counsel notwithstanding 3.170 & 3.180.
Thank you.
