Local Administrators

Each of the six district courts of appeal and the 20 circuit courts have their own local administrative structure. Each of these 26 courts is presided over by the chief judge for that jurisdiction.

In each of the six district courts, a clerk and a marshal provide operational assistance to the chief judge. In the 20 circuit courts, a trial court administrator provides operational assistance.

More information on this structure is available in the Florida Rules of Judicial Administration maintained by The Florida Bar.
