All OJCC Offices except Miami are open Thursday, September 21, 2017.
Ft. Lauderdale has been promised electrical service will resume each day this week. It is possible that power may not be restored again Thursday. Watch this posting for any changes. At a minimum, all Thursday mediations will proceed by telephone.
Miami District remains closed Thursday due to air conditioning issues. The building is without air, interior temperatures are in the high 90s, and not inhabitable. Miami intends to provide office access as early as Friday, September 22, 2017 but there will be no live mediations or hearings that day in Miami.
Many Miami mediations on Thursday, September 21, 2017 will be conducted telephonically by mediators from various other offices to the extent possible (Notices are being uploaded and served). If you have issues with presenting parties or calling in for such mediations, please let the mediator know of the issues. The goal is to provide service to those who are ready to return to the OJCC process. Thank you for your patience.
