Florida's Court System Diagram of the State Courts The Supreme Court of Florida The highest Court in Florida is the Supreme Court, which is composed of seven Justices. At least five Justices must participate in every case and at least four must agree for a decision to be reached. The Court's official headquarters is the Supreme Court Building in Tallahassee. To be eligible for the office of Justice, a person must be a qualified elector who resides in Florida and must have been admitted to the practice of law in Florida for the preceding 10 years. For most of Florida's history, all judges were chosen by direct election of the people. The only exception was when a vacancy occurred on a court between elections. In that case, the Governor appointed a replacement to serve until the next election was held. This election of appellate judges led to many problems. They had to raise campaign money, which often was donated by the same attorneys who practiced before the Court. By the mid-1970s, the problem became even more serious after several Florida appellate judges were charged with violations of ethics. In 1971, Governor Reubin Askew took the first step toward reforming the system. That year he instituted a system called "merit selection." Under this system, the Governor referred a Court vacancy to an impartial panel, which suggested names of possible appointees. The Governor then selected a name from the list. In 1974, Justice Ben F. Overton became the first Supreme Court Justice chosen by this method.

Court Records The records created by county, municipal, and district courts can be extremely valuable for genealogists, social historians, and other researchers. Prior to 1977 the court system in Kansas included a probate court and a district court. The probate court had jurisdiction over marriages, town incorporations, estates, wills, adoptions, insanities, delinquent and dependent children, and similar matters within the county. The district court handled major civil and criminal cases, naturalizations, divorces, monetary claims within a particular boundary (usually one or more counties), and similar matters. Generally, most cases involving serious criminal offenses or large monetary amounts were heard by the district court. Misdemeanor, small claims, and traffic offenses were tried at the municipal or township levels. There were also a number of other short-lived or related courts with specific responsibilities including criminal courts, circuit courts, traffic courts, juvenile courts, and appeal courts. In 1977 the state of Kansas simplified the court system so that most court divisions fell under the umbrella title of District Court. In addition to county courts, communities had city or municipal courts that handled cases such as traffic violations, monetary claims to a specific dollar amount, and misdemeanor criminal cases. Sometimes these courts had jurisdiction over the entire township, which encompassed a city or town. In a township where no major community existed, a justice of the peace usually enforced the law, handling cases of a limited nature.

The Courts The Judges Administrative Office of the Courts THE NEBRASKA JUDICIAL SYSTEM The Constitution of the State of Nebraska distributes the judicial power of the state among the Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, district courts and county courts. All state courts operate under the administrative direction of the Supreme Court. In addition to the courts created by the Constitution, the Nebraska judicial system has two other courts - the separate juvenile courts located in Douglas, Lancaster, and Sarpy Counties, and a statewide Workers' Compensation Court. THE COURTS SUPREME COURT The Supreme Court consists of a Chief Justice and six associate justices. The Chief Justice, who represents the state at large, is appointed by the Governor from a statewide list of candidates selected by a judicial nominating commission. The six remaining associate justices are chosen by the same judicial nominating commission procedure but each represents one of six districts. These judicial districts are approximately equal in population and are redistricted by the legislature after each census. The Supreme Court's basic responsibilities are to hear appeals and provide administrative leadership for the state judicial system. The Supreme Court has the authority to be the original court in which a case is heard under certain circumstances. The Supreme Court also hears all appeal cases regarding the death penalty, the sentence of life imprisonment, or cases where constitutional questions are raised. Appeals are brought to the Supreme Court from the Court of Appeals, district courts, county courts, juvenile courts, Workers' Compensation Court, and administrative agencies. Upon the granting of a petition for further review, a Court of Appeals case is moved to the Supreme Court for review and disposition.

Scott McCown will hear arguments regarding the current public school finance system in the 250th Judicial District Court beginning at 2:30 p.m. Thursday, June 28, at the Travis County Courthouse. On April 9, four school districts (West Orange-Cove Consolidated Independent School District, Coppell ISD, La Porte ISD, and Port Neches-Groves ISD) filed a suit against Jim Nelson in his official capacity as Commissioner of Education, Carole Keeton Rylander in her official capacity as State Comptroller, the Texas Education Agency and the State Board of Education. The plaintiffs contend the state's current $1.50 statutory cap on maintenance and operations tax rates represents an unconstitutional statewide ad valorem tax. On May 7, defendants filed their answer denying all of the plaintiffs' allegations and asserting that plaintiffs have not pled facts which demonstrate that the court should revisit the school finance issues raised. The defendants further assert that the facts are not ripe for court review and the court has no jurisdiction to give advisory opinions. Key developments in the Texas public school finance law are highlighted in the accompanying timeline.
