As one of our esteemed Family Division judges observed, while Zoom may have increased our efficiency these last fifteen months, it was also a trade-off as practitioners “stepped back in the professionalism department” – more casual dress, informal settings, even our demeanor and interactions changed this past year as some practitioners and parties felt more emboldened to speak out of turn during court proceedings or be more vocal in challenging a judge’s ruling. This article will briefly address the actions to encourage professionalism and civility thus far undertaken by the Florida Bar, the Florida Supreme Court, and the judicial circuits; share with the reader views from the Bench and counsel; and highlight some of the Professional Expectations articulated by the Florida.
