Statewide civil case-management resources compiled in single web page
The Florida Supreme Court’s ongoing efforts to improve and expedite the resolution of civil cases resulted in the adoption of a series of amendments to Florida’s court rules at the end of 2024.
As a result of the rules amendments, the chief judges in each of Florida’s 20 judicial circuits have issued administrative orders to provide guidance on the local practices for managing civil cases.

“The amendments created a framework for the active case management of civil cases with a focus on adhering to deadlines established early based on the complexity of the case, while providing room for customization by judicial circuit,” according to the Supreme Court’s opinion adopting the new rules.
“We think that the new rules will give better effect to the promise of the civil justice system, which, after all, is to… secure the just, speedy, and inexpensive determination of every action,” Chief Justice Carlos Muñiz said in January.
