Florida courts

Florida courts are part of the state's judicial system that interpret and apply laws, resolve disputes, and uphold justice. They include trial courts (Circuit and County Courts) where cases are originally heard, such as criminal, civil, family, and probate matters. Above these are appellate courts, like the Florida Court of Appeals and the Florida Supreme Court, which review decisions made by trial courts. The system operates independently to ensure fair treatment under the law, with judges appointed or elected, depending on the court. Overall, Florida courts function to uphold legal rights, dispense justice, and maintain order within the state.
