Inclement weather may pose a risk of service interruption or office closure. It is important to remember a few contact points for those situations. First and foremost is the rule. However, there are many good sources of information. The Rule: Rule 60Q 60Q-6.130. EMERGENCY OFFICE CLOSURE (1) The Office of Judges of Compensation Claims is subject to closure pursuant to Gubernatorial instructions or declarations pursuant to Article IV, section 1(a) of the Florida Constitution and the Florida Emergency Management Act. (2) Whenever the Circuit Courts in the particular county in which an OJCC office is located close, due to a weather or other disaster emergency, the district office of the Office of Judges of Compensation Claims in that county shall likewise close for the duration of the emergency closure ordered by that Circuit Court. (3) Any unscheduled closure of an OJCC office will be published on the OJCC website, and through such other means deemed necessary by the Deputy Chief Judge. I...

Website Resources In the www.fljcc.org site there is assistance with quesions. Visit the FAQ for information on filing, case number assignment, data base errors, Zoom tips, and more.  https://www.fljcc.org/JCC/FAQ.asp The Appellate Payment Process From the outstanding effort of our Clerk, Julie Hunsaker and IT Director Jeff Russell, and Operations Manager, Patricia Kenyon, you can soon use a credit card or bank transfer to pay for some elements of the costs associated with an appellate record. See the Announcement Blog for details. Practice Tip for Calendar Awareness With the recent Microsoft hiccup, there were lawyers who missed appointments because they lost contact with their electronic calendar. We know it is stone age, but printing a calendar periodically is a sound backup. And, whenever you wish, you can look at your schedule for all your cases in eJCC.

Everyone knows by now that we each have to keep our e-JCC profile up-to-date, right. There is a post here with instructions and tips.  There are new features from time to time in the e-JCC program. Last year, we added the mediation tool. We also added the enhanced opportunities to check your schedule of events. We also reminded you of the ability to check your daily filings. This is all described in eJCC What a Tool?!? Now we have made it possible for you to delete your profile from our system. CAUTION, doing so will remove you from our database associated with any and all cases. That means that if you have not appropriately withdrawn from your cases or substituted another lawyer on those cases, your client may be prejudiced as you will no longer receive emails with service of documents.  The purpose of this tool is primarily for attorneys who pass away or who leave workers' compensation completely. We have not had many, but there have been a few and this new tool w...

Back in the day, Emily Litella used to entertain us on the Weekend Update portion of Saturday Night Live. This character would appear as a citizen seeking to correct some perceived editorial position of the television network (a parody of the old Fairness Doctrine spots that some will remember). After rambling a bit about the subject of her op-ed, one of the Weekend Update anchors would interrupt her (not always as easily as they might wish) and correct some misconception in her premise. Emily was famous for her response line "oh, that's very different" followed by "never mind." I was reminded about Emily (actually Gilda Radner, rest her soul) in a recent conversation with an attorney. I was approached with a suggestion. As with many, the speaker led with "I don't know if it's possible, but what if we could . . . " The idea was essentially "what if we (the attorneys) could see a mediator's calendar in order to find a vacant appointment...

E-filers: We know some of you are having difficulty with eJCC today. The issues are sporadic, but we need to make a repair. To do so, we will be taking the database down at 1:30 Eastern Time today. The system will be unavailable at that time, and until further notice.  If you have a time-critical filing (notice of appeal, etc.) that absolutely, positively has to be filed today, and you do not have access to e-JCC restored before 4:00 Eastern Time, you may contact me directly, david.langham@doah.state.fl.us for further assistance and support. Our goal is to get the database back up ASAP for all of our e-JCC users.  We have not taken the database down during a work day in a long time (if ever). We must today to make repair and get the system functioning again. I apologize for the inconvenience and assure you that we have tried to proceed without this step. It is unavoidable and critical to our mission of providing you quality service.  I appreciate your patience, and thank ...

I get it, the e-JCC system has been a little slow lately. Fortunately, there are a great many people like our e-JCC users who are professional, patient, and productive. Unfortunately, there are also some really bad people in the world.  The bad people sometimes like to work mischief, for gain or out of boredom. They steal people's information and data, destroy computer networks, and worse. The OJCC has a duty to protect people's (your) data, and the integrity of the network and resources that support your participation in this litigation system and process. Fortunately, that is not my primary job, but we have a great IT team led by our CIO, Susan Brown.  In 2015, she told us we needed to do some upgrading to the tools we use to protect the integrity of your data. We spent months looking at hardware and software. Some poor IT folks actually sat down with me for two hours and tried to explain it all. As I understand it, there was some flaw in one of our Megabits, which meant we ...
