Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
pre-trial
The judge in my pre-trial case is out the day of court. The court coordinater said that she was presiding over the case is this legal? Isn't the judge the only one who can preside over a court hearing?

NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.
As far as I know, only a judge can preside over a pretrial hearing. In my 27 years of practice, this is the only way it has ever happened.
