In Re: Certification of Need for Additional Judges

Summary

The Supreme Court of Florida certified a need for thirty-five additional trial-court judges for fiscal year 2015/2016: three circuit judges and thirty-two county judges. It reached that determination through a quantitative and qualitative assessment using case-weighted workload data, filing and disposition trends, judicial workload indicators, and other specified factors. The Court certified no need for additional district-court judges during this cycle.
