The Court

The Eleventh Judicial Circuit of Florida

Our case was filed at the Circuit Civil Division of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit of Florida , in which civil disputes with damages greater than $15,000 are heard. The judges and support personnel of this division are located at the Dade County Courthouse.

The Circuit Courts are the highest state trial courts in Florida.  A legal description of circuit court jurisdiction is detailed in the Florida Statutes. The Eleventh Judicial Circuit of Florida is the largest in the state and the fourth largest trial court in the nation. Its 123 judges serve a population of over two million. 

In the circuit and county trial courts, factual disputes are resolved, either by jury trials where verdicts are rendered by the people, or by non-jury or "bench" trials where a judge decides the issues in the case.
