The Florida Supreme Court has launched its Virtual Courtroom Directory (courtrooms.flcourts.org) to expand public access to court proceedings. The Virtual Courtroom Directory offers a simple way to find virtual hearings and court livestreams of trials and oral arguments throughout the state.

“Florida’s courts continue to meet the ongoing challenges of the pandemic,” said Chief Justice Charles Canady. “The Virtual Courtroom Directory offers safe access to proceedings statewide. People have a front-row seat into our courts from wherever they are, and they can see that justice continues even in challenging circumstances.”

Users can search courts and sort by judge or hearing officer and proceeding type. Actively streaming courts display as “Live Now” at the top of the list. Clicking “Watch” takes users to each court’s streaming service. Proceeding types vary by court, but can include first appearances, arraignments, criminal pre-trial hearings, violation of probation, criminal and civil trials, and oral arguments.
