Florida Court System

The Florida court system is organized into three main levels: trial courts, appellate courts, and the Florida Supreme Court. Trial courts handle civil and criminal cases, including family law and property disputes. Appellate courts review decisions made by trial courts to ensure proper application of law. The Florida Supreme Court is the highest court, overseeing the entire system, setting legal standards, and resolving the most significant legal issues. The system includes circuit courts (more serious criminal and civil cases), county courts (less serious matters), and specialized courts like family and probate courts.
