DO NOT EMAIL CHAMBERS UNLESS SPECIFICALLY INSTRUCTED TO DO SO.
Settlements: As soon as a case settles, please send the Notice of Settlement or the Notice of Voluntary Dismissal to chambers via email to 11thCA23@jud11.flcourts.org. Do NOT use the fax or email for any other purpose, unless specifically instructed to do so. All other submissions to the Court must be via courtMap. IMPORTANT NOTE: Emails sent that are not in accordance with these instructions will be deleted without a reply. Calls to chambers are welcome.
Zoom vs. Live Hearings/Trials: Most court proceedings will continue to take place remotely, via Zoom. Trials and live evidentiary hearings will take place in Courtroom 14-1 of the Dade County Courthouse. When requesting a special set hearing, parties have the option to request live or via zoom.
Submission of Original Notes: DO NOT FILE OR DELIVER ORIGINAL LOAN DOCUMENTS UNTIL I SPECIFICALLY INSTRUCT YOU TO DO SO. If Motion for Summary Judgment is granted, you have two options:
1. Deliver to chambers only the original note and mortgage, and upload the Final Judgment to courtMap, proposed orders. However, all Defendants not on the courtMap service email list must be added to the service list with their street address.
2. Deliver the Final Judgment together with the original note/loan documents, copies of FJ, stamped, addressed envelopes and check for Clerk, to chambers.
Submission of Evidence for Zoom Hearings and Zoom Trials: (The requirements here are only for Zoom evidentiary hearings and trials and are for the benefit of the Clerk. Submissions of courtesy copies for the Court via courtMAP must follow the formatting requirements detailed in the Special Sets section of the webpage.) At least five business days prior to the hearing or trial, each side must:
1. Mark the first page of each document it intends to introduce into evidence (Plaintiff with numbers/Defendant with letters).
2. Submit to the e-Portal, in the manner detailed below, an Exhibit List, containing the exhibit number/letter, with the corresponding brief description of the exhibit, and all exhibits separately.
To Submit: a. Go to the eFiling Portal;
b. Click on "File Pleading in Existing Case;"
c. Enter Case Number;
d. Once case populates, go to the documents tab, click "Add;"
e. Once Search Bar appears, type "EVIDENCE" and hit "Enter;"
f. Check Off "Evidence Submission," then hit "Browse" which allows you to select the respective document to be uploaded; and
g. Click "Save."
By submitting the documents as indicated above, they go into a separate Evidence Queue that allows the Clerk to access evidence submitted on a particular case. EACH EXHIBIT MUST BE SUBMITTED SEPARATELY. DO NOT COMBINE DOCUMENTS THAT MAY NEED TO BE INTRODUCED SEPARATELY.

Submit the filed Emergency Motion via courtMap to Emergency, and simultaneously submit via courtMap to Proposed Orders (not as a supporting document to the emergency motion), an order granting the relief sought. The Court will process the order (enter, edit, reject, delete) as it deems appropriate.
If the submitted proposed order has not been processed, and you have not received a communication from the Court within 24 hours, follow up by calling chambers.
NOTE: Orders uploaded as supporting documents cannot be entered by the Court. They must be uploaded to "Proposed Orders."
Please be aware that certain items are prohibited on courthouse premises. If any listed prohibited item is detected to be in your possession when entering a court facility, you will be asked to exit the facility to secure the item elsewhere or dispose of it, before being allowed entry into the facility.
