Miami-Dade County Exhibit FAQs

What does "FOR IDENTIFICATION ONLY" mean on a Miami-Dade exhibit?

It marks an exhibit as tentatively identified but not yet admitted into evidence. Miami-Dade Circuit Court exhibits get this initial marking when uploaded through the e-filing portal at least 5 days before an evidentiary hearing, with the proposed exhibit list due 7 days before the hearing.

Does Miami-Dade have a specialized court for business exhibits?

Yes -- the Complex Business Litigation Division handles complex commercial cases with their own procedures, separate from the general civil division, and typically involves larger, more technical exhibit sets.

Are Miami-Dade court services available in Spanish?

Yes, bilingual court services are available given Miami-Dade's large Spanish-speaking population, though foreign-language exhibits themselves still generally require certified English translations for evidentiary purposes.
