SIGNIFICANT PERSONAL INJURY, MEDICAL MALPRACTICE & WRONGFUL DEATH TRIAL ATTORNEYS
BROWARD COUNTY
THREE JUDGE PANELS
Effective July 1, 2013, three judge panels will preside over county to
circuit civil appeals. Previously, individual civil division judges handled
county to circuit appeals.
It is anticipated that this change will provide a more efficient and timely
disposition to pending appeals; assure more streamlined and consistent
decisions; and bring the 17th judicial circuit in line with every other
circuit in Florida.
The three judge panels will also preside over petitions for extraordinary
writs seeking mandamus, quo warranto, certiorari, prohibition or habeas
corpus whether the appeal originates from county civil or county criminal.
For further information about this change, please see Administrative Order 2013-25.
