I ZOOM; THEY ZOOM; WE ZOOM; YOU ZOOM

 This is not a PC post about pronouns. You won't find that on these pages. Call yourself what you wish and we shall honor your request. It's your life and your pronouns. 

This is about Zoom. Specifically Zoom for first appearance hearings

We had it, we lost it, and now... very much like a ceasefire with Iran...it's on...it's off...it's in between...

We now (drum roll please) HAVE ZOOM BACK FOR FIRST APPEARANCES. 


 

 Here is what you need to Zoom in:

Any attorney is welcome to appear remote.  The Zoom number will change (not sure yet how frequently) and the Zoom number will not be publicly posted for security reasons.  However, attorneys are welcome to call my chambers at 305-548-5120 or email my judicial assistant, Cary Rodriguez, at crodriguez@jud11.flcourts.org to obtain the Zoom ID. 

Felony First Appearance

Judge Glazer has set up a new Zoom meeting for Felony First Appearances:

Meeting ID: 916 9504 4392

This meeting is limited to attorneys, listed victims, and police officers. Please do not share Judge Glazer's Zoom ID publicly. If clients' family members or others wish to appear but will not be with you, please request Judge Glazer's permission before sharing the Zoom ID.

Let us know how it goes. You have 29 days. We are (nearly) done with this foolishness.
