With the rise in COVID-19 cases around the state and in an effort to minimize person-to-person contact that could spread the virus, Miami-Dade courts continue to operate under Phase 2 guidelines set forth by The Florida Supreme Court. 

Phase 2 operations require minimal in-person contact and strict adherence to appropriate protective measures. These phased guidelines were designed to help Circuit Court chief justices better determine appropriate operations during the pandemic, meaning they remain unable to hold most in-person proceedings.
