Availability of Cases Expect publication of court decisions to lag behind news reports of cases. Some court opinions, discussed by the media, never are published. Remember that reported cases are only the decisions of the judges and not transcripts of the trial. We have recently begun receiving briefs for the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals as well. The most current sources of Florida decisions follow.
Access can be through docket number, date, case name, judge, counsel, etc.
Opinion published in advance sheets 1-2 months after decision rendered. Opinions are filed by the page number West assigns. Searchable by week, month, party, docket number.
