NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC: The Code of Judicial
Conduct governing behavior by judges prohibits the Circuit
and County Court Judges
of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit of Florida to discuss pending
cases with the public. Please do not call the Court expecting
to speak with a judge about any case. Regarding specific
cases, the Court is only allowed to consider arguments made
in the
courtroom and in documents properly filed by actual parties
in the case as authorized by law and the Rules of Court.
Any other communication will be considered an ex-parte communication,
which means it was sent to the Court without notice to or
challenged
by an adverse party and therefore, cannot be read by the
presiding judge in the case. These types of communications
will be returned
to the sender. If you wish to submit a proper letter or motion
to the presiding judge in a particular case, please do so
with a correct case number and proof of copies to other parties
involved in the case. If you wish to inquire about the status
of a case, you may send a proper motion or request to the
Clerk
of the Miami-Dade Circuit and County Court, Dade County Courthouse,
73 West Flagler Street, Suite # 242, Miami, Florida 33130.
