Florida Supreme Court calls for 50 new judges
The Florida Supreme Court has certified the need for 23 additional circuit court judgeships and 25 more for the county courts in its annual certification opinion.
Acting December 12 in Case No. SC2024-1721, the justices also identified the need for two additional district court judgeships on the recently created Sixth District Court of Appeal.
The ask for 50 new judgeships comes on the heels of the Legislature creating nine new judicial positions last session.
