MONDAY MARCH 16 2020 SECOND UPDATE NEW COURT ROOM SCHEDULE

UPDATE: HEY 19- Yesterday we supported criminalizing the use of the song I Sharona during this difficult time. We neglected to add the song "Hey 19" to the list of songs we do not want to hear used for song paradies during this time.  

UPDATE: COUNTY COURT CRIMINAL TO CLOSE EXCEPT FOR JAIL DIVISIONS AND BOND HEARINGS for next two weeks. All traffic infractions canceled for two weeks. 
Judges will rotate to handle emergency motions like motions to set aside Bench Warrants. 
DV and civil are not covered by this. We are working on what is going on there. 

Bailiffs and hourly employees are facing issues: They do not get paid unless the State closes the court system, which has not occurred. If the State of Florida does not authorize funding Bailiffs, hourly employees  then their pay is up in the air right now, as well as County employees like State PDs and ASAs on Dade County payroll.

We are still working on Juvenile Dependency and Delinquency courts and employees.  

Sayfie heeds our call and steps up and sets a judicial rotation. Well done Judge.
