In re: Certification of Need for Additional Judges

Summary

The Florida Supreme Court certified the need for ten additional trial court judgeships for fiscal year 2020/2021—four circuit court and six county court positions—and decertified four county court positions. It also certified no need for additional district court judgeships. The Court relied primarily on its verified weighted-caseload methodology, supplemented by secondary factors, jurisdictional changes, workload trends, and other relevant circumstances.
