Special Set Hearing Procedures

Special set hearings can only be set during special set weeks and not during trial periods. Special Sets will be approved for hearings of 15 to 30 minutes, if your motion requires more than 30 minutes you will need to set the matter on motion calendar to request a special set for 45mins or more, the court will then place it on one of the courts non-jury trial docket which the parties will have to appear via zoom on whichever calendar call the court places it on.

Special Set Motions may not exceed 25 pages, double spaced, 1inch margins with 12PT Fonts.

Responses are limited to 20 pages and are due 10 days prior to the hearing; no reply's will be allowed. 

Motions requiring Special Set should be set within a reasonable amount of time from when the motion was filed.

Special set hearings must be coordinated and set through courtMAP.  In the event the party seeking to set a hearing is unable to secure reasonable cooperation from opposing/co-counsel, the will set it on Motion Calendar to Compel Cooperation.  The Court expects that any motion may be heard within 30 days of filing and, as a result, a failure to agree upon a date within this time frame is presumptively unreasonable. 

Parties are required to MEET AND CONFER prior to setting motions on calendar. (The parties are required to speak over the phone, in-person or via zoom. Emails do NOT satisfy this requirement.)
We do not use binders. All supporting documents must be uploaded through courtMAP. 

 * All motions MUST be filed with the Clerk prior to scheduling a special set hearing.

- Select your date and upload your document(s) through courtMAP
- Your date selection on courtMAP will generate a Special Set Request email to Chambers. Chambers will review your submission and approve or reject. Please make sure to upload in courtmap the Notice of Hearing and the Motion.  It is very important to label each submission (i.e) "Notice of Hearing", "Motion to Dismiss"!  Do not simply submit a PDF without it being labeled. 
- Once approved, you will receive a Notice of Hearing from courtMap.

Please Note No Broken Time Selections:  Do not set a special set with broken time:  For example, if the parties have a special set that require 30mins. and you find at time at 10:00AM you cannot have the additional start time at 10:30AM.   10:00 AM - 10:30AM is good.  10:00AM (for 15mins) and then Start again at 10:30AM (for 15mins) is not good and it will be cancelled all together. If you require additional explanation, email me at ASoto@jud11.flcourts.org    

*** Any documentation for the hearing shall be uploaded and e-filed AT LEAST TEN (10) DAYS PRIOR TO THE HEARING (in addition to uploading your documents to courtMAP)***  any matters that are not provided as instructed, will not be heard at the special set hearing.

Please do not submit paper courtesy copies on any matter. All Notices, Motions, Responses must be downloaded in courtmap. 

Add-Ons: If both parties can agree to address the motions in the allotted time and with the understanding that no more time will be added, that is fine. Please ensure that the documents are uploaded onto a court map.
Uploading Additional Documents:  In order to verify your case is on the Calendar AND in order to upload additional documents: 
    a. Log onto courtMAP;
    b. Select “calendar” on top;
    c. Select “show events by case”;
    d. Enter your case number & hit the magnifying glass; and
    e. Your case hearings will populate

All documents you would like Judge Trawick to review for a hearing should be uploaded on courtMAP to the event as supporting documents. DO NOT send supporting documents by email.  Ensure that the motions are uploaded separately or apart from exhibits.  

When uploading your documents for your special set hearing, upload your motion separate from any exhibits that you may have and properly label them.  The same goes for any responses.
