The following email was sent to judges by Jack Tuter. The reference to dockets is apparently to civil matters, but criminal practitioners can rest assured that procedures are being put into place to assure access to judges and other necessary players to get their clients out of jail if warranted by circumstances. There have been no decisions yet, but as during Wilma, the jail will not just be open for admissions only. There will likely not be any procedural update until Monday when the stakeholders have further discussions, but in addition to telephonic hearings, the electronic first appearances courtroom could be utilized in addition to normal operating hours and functions, as well as recently technologically updated criminal courtrooms in the north wing. As it states in Tuter’s email, all judges will be in the courthouse, so conscientious lawyers can still get the job done over the next couple of weeks …
Hmmmmm…..why would he cancel Crim inmate dockets and leave Civil ones in place?
Poor JAs might have to answer phones now.
