Supreme Court of Florida delays jury trials through July 2

On May 4, 2020, Charles Canady, the Chief Justice of the Florida Supreme Court, issued a new emergency order extending the suspension of jury trials through July 2.
The order also increases the number of proceedings that will be conducted remotely. The list includes non-jury trials, hearings in juvenile delinquency cases, and pretrial conferences. For first-degree murder cases, only preliminary hearings are suspended through July 2.
