Lee County Florida Judge Crams Fifty Hours Of Non-Jury Trials Into One Day
Southwest Florida Courts are cramming more time into the day in order to speed cases along the rocket docket. A quick look at the schedule for just one judge on February 3, 2010 reveals that it will be the longest day of the year, never mind the summer solstice. Currently there are 100 non-jury trials set for 15 minute hearings starting at 8:30 am. Additionally starting at 1:00pm there are an additional 99 non-jury trials set for 15 minute hearings.
Even assuming that you could conduct an entire trial with in the span of 15 minutes, which is not only improbable but impractical given the number of documents that are involved in a typical foreclosure case, only 32 could be heard in a typical eight hour day. What is supposed to happen to the 167 cases scheduled that day. Amazingly, this is happening in three Southwest Florida Courtroom several days a week.
