[CLC-Discussion] Dealing With Difficult Counsel

[James B.Boone, Esq.]

I try to give obstinate opposing counsel at least 5-7 different dates 
for motion calender and 3-5 dates for special sets (all scheduling for 
hearings up to 30 minutes is done online in Broward).  I then give 
counsel a deadline to pick a date or I pick the date (assuming opposing 
counsel is not in a lengthy trial for which I ask for proof of same).  
I've never had a judge in 25 plus years of practice in Broward find this 
is unreasonable.   I go forward with the hearing in the event opposing 
counsel wants to play the game and not show up and present the 
documented history of attempted scheduling to the judge.  I have not had 
a judge refuse to hear a matter under these conditions.  Hope it works 
for you.
