Supreme Court of Florida
In Re: Amendments to Florida Rule of General Practice and Judicial Administration 2.320
February 2, 2023
Summary
The court amended Florida Rule of General Practice and Judicial Administration 2.320 to conform to recent changes in judicial education policies and procedures. The amendments clarify which course content may satisfy the judicial ethics requirement, address credit for Florida Judicial College programs, clarify course approval, and assign compliance monitoring to the Office of Court Education. The amendments took effect immediately, subject to a seventy-five-day period for public comments. Justice Labarga dissented, arguing that removing express references to fairness and diversity could eliminate important educational content and undermine existing initiatives.
