Supreme Court of Florida
In Re: Amendments to the Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure - 2020 Regular-Cycle Report
February 11, 2021
Summary
The court adopted the proposed amendments to the Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure, with limited exceptions. The amendments address public access to opinions, rendition and appeal notices, record transmission, constitutional-challenge notices, limited appearances, and numerous appellate procedures. The court declined to adopt proposed changes concerning citation formats and a notice-of-supplemental-authority form because one proposal raised accessibility concerns and the other depended on amendments pending in a separate proceeding.
