ALL hearings are specially set and most are conducted remotely, with the exception of Small Claims Pre-Trial Hearings. There is no UMC.
Small Claims Pre-Trial Hearings are conducted Tuesday afternoons IN PERSON in Courtroom 6-K. Zoom and phone appearances are NOT permitted. PTH's may be waived by written stipulation filed PRIOR to the hearing unless otherwise stated in the Order setting hearing.
Please utilize the special set hearing times available on the Online Schedule system for all motions.
Special Set Hearings:
Division "RL" online scheduling is for special set hearings of 15/30 minutes only. Motions that require more than 30 minute hearing must be requested and set by the JA (do not combine several special set openings to make a 1 hour special set hearing; they will not be heard).
For hearings more than 30 minutes, the moving party is required to email the Judicial Assistant at CAD-DIVISIONRL@PBCGOV.ORG to request for a special set time/date, include a copy of the Motion, indicate how much time needed for hearing and provide case number and style of the case. IF your case settles, is voluntary dismissed, or stayed, and there are future hearings or trials scheduled, please contact the JA via email.
Remote Hearings
Remote hearings will be conducted via Zoom, unless otherwise agreed by the parties, who shall then advise the Court at CAD-DivisionRL@pbcgov.org which method of conference call, CourtCall, or other arrangement is agreed upon.
