About this source
Florida's District Courts of Appeal sit between the trial courts and the Florida Supreme Court. Six districts cover the state, hearing appeals on civil judgments, criminal convictions, family law orders, and administrative decisions. This feed tracks every published opinion across all six districts, around 125 a month, with the case name, appellant, type of relief sought, and outcome. Watch this if you practice civil litigation in Florida, defend insurance disputes (the carriers fight a lot of appeals here), or follow Florida's busy criminal post-conviction docket. GovPing pulls from CourtListener's official mirror of the courts' RSS feeds.
