Tiffany Moore Russell president of the Florida Court Clerks & Comptrollers and Orange County Clerk of the Circuit Court recently gave the State of the Clerk and Comptroller address in Tallahassee says a five-year analysis of criminal, traffic, and civil cases shows an upward trend since 2021 that is projected to continue.

In a state where the volume of jury trials is climbing while funding remains stagnant, the need for comprehensive jury management has never been more pressing, said Tiffany Moore Russell, president of the Florida Court Clerks & Comptrollers and Orange County Clerk of the Circuit Court, during her keynote at the inaugural State of the Clerk and Comptroller address.

Russell said the best outcome during this legislative session “would be securing the funding necessary to meet the increasing demand for jurors.”
