Navigation Supreme Court orders judicial circuit consolidation study
The Florida Supreme Court has appointed a committee to consider whether a consolidation of the state’s existing 20 judicial circuits is warranted.
Acting June 30 in Administrative Order No. AOSC23-35, the court created a Judicial Circuit Assessment Committee that will be chaired by Fourth DCA Judge Jonathan D. Gerber.
In a June 15 letter, House Speaker Paul Renner asked the court to consider whether a consolidation of the state’s existing judicial circuits is warranted, noting the current boundaries of the judicial circuits have been in place since 1969, “notwithstanding the significant population and demographic changes of the past 50 years.”
