Prosecutors and public defenders on Wednesday asked lawmakers for more resources to meet a host of challenges, including rising caseloads associated with a flood of new judges.
The Legislature and Gov. Ron DeSantis last session agreed to fund 39 new judgeships for FY 2025-26, including 22 circuit judgeships, 15 county court judgeships, and two new judges for the Sixth District Court of Appeal.
