The Judicial Council is an essential body to the administration of justice in Florida. It was established for two main purposes: 1) standardizing court practices and procedures by adopting rules from other states; 2), setting up standards that can’t be set without their council’s consent or approval (i.e., those concerning attorney ethics). The judges, attorneys, legislators who make-up this group are all committed professionals looking forward towards a better future.
Judicial Councils are formed to handle issues that have statewide impact, affect various levels of the judiciary, or have an impact on a large range of court stakeholders. Internal and external representation are included in the council’s membership.
