UMC Is for Under-5-Minute Matters — Cancelled at 7 — Circuit Civil B
Motion CalendarCIV-B — Circuit Civil Division Bhigh confidenceReserve UMC for hearings under 5 minutes: if a hearing exceeds 7 minutes it may be summarily cancelled and rescheduled. Evidentiary matters and dispositive motions (summary judgment, dismissal, striking defenses) are not UMC-appropriate unless exceedingly narrow. Set UMC/15/30-minute hearings through JAWS; 60+ minutes through the JA.

No Hybrid Hearings — Ever — Circuit Civil B
Remote / Zoom HearingsCIV-B — Circuit Civil Division Bhigh confidenceDo not notice hybrid hearings: no hybrid hearings are permitted absent a specific court order entered well in advance. Non-evidentiary UMC/15/30-minute hearings run on Zoom; all evidentiary matters, PTCs, trials, and hearings over 30 minutes are in person. Attorneys appear by video unless a written order grants telephonic appearance.
