Judicial Ethics Advisory Committee opinions have a new home
JEAC launches new more secure and mobile-friendly website
The Florida Supreme Court’s Judicial Ethics Advisory Committee launched its new website October 31 that will host the committee’s advisory opinions moving forward.
Previously, committee opinions were hosted by the Sixth Judicial Circuit. The new site is now cloud-hosted under the www.flcourts.gov umbrella, joining a suite of websites and webpages dedicated to providing accessible, timely, and accurate information on a variety of topics related to Florida’s court system.
In a memorandum sent to chief judges from the district courts of appeal and the circuit courts, State Courts Administrator Ali Sackett said the new site will be more compatible with mobile devices.
“While the former website and search mechanism functioned well on standard computers, it did not consistently perform well on mobile devices,” Sackett said. “The new site has been designed to perform equally well across a variety of devices, including laptops, mobile phones, and iPads,”
Aside from the streamlined design, simple navigation, and advanced search capabilities, Sackett said that one of the most important features of the new site is updated cybersecurity. It will use an up-to-date web content management system managed by the State Courts Administrator’s Office of Information Technology and Communications Office.

The Judicial Ethics Advisory Committee renders written advisory opinions to inquiring judges and judicial candidates regarding the application of the Code of Judicial Conduct with respect to specific instances of contemplated judicial and nonjudicial conduct.
