A New Inn of Court in Miami

I was very proud on January 17, 2019 to attend the inaugural dinner of the Richard Sicking Inn of Court in Miami. This is the FOURTH Florida workers' compensation inn. The movement began in Jacksonville with the E. Robert Williams Inn. Next, the William Wieland Inn was organized in Orlando. Then the The Tampa Bay Workers Compensation and Disability American Inn of Court was formed more recently. Then, in 2019 the Richard A. Sicking American Inn of Court was launched. 

I have been proud to support the Inns of Court movement for almost twenty years. It is an exceptional concept, driven by goals of professionalism and mentoring. I congratulate the Sicking Inn, and the 50 exceptional judges and lawyers that are inaugural members. I also congratulate the judges that have agreed to be honorary members, supporting the ideals and mission of the group!

Convenience and Payments

The Florida OJCC is evolving yet again, this time as regards appellate records. The accounting surrounding the preparation of a record on appeal has been a challenging process. And, there have been many over the years that have asked "why can't I use a credit card." The day has finally come when that is possible. That process will be available for many payments on March 1, 2023.  Appellants should keep in mind that there are generally three payments to be made when an appeal is undertaken. The first is the filing fee that is due to the Florida First District. The second is  the cost of the transcript of proceedings which is no longer ever prepared by the team at the OJCC (outside designated transcriptionist). The third  is the cost for the preparation of the record itself (compilation of the transcript, the exhibits, etc.).  The new credit card process we are rolling out now applies only to the third element (payment to DOAH). We cannot accept money for the...

Take notes, there will be some adaptation needed. The basic interface appearance is changing to accommodate the volume of topics and alternatives. Look for changes. The main screen today looks like But on Monday, it will look like When you hover your mouse over the ones with arrows, like "case" you will get an expanded menu as pictured. This should help with viewing on smaller screens.  We are providing you (the filer) the opportunity to expedite the processing of some motions. An example is settlements. When you upload a  Motion for Approval of Attorney's Fees and Child Support, you will have the option to input the data from your documents.
