Florida Supreme Court

Nothing about abortion access has changed, and a U.S. Supreme Court ruling won’t mean an immediate shift.

Siding with R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., the Supreme Court said plaintiffs must show that smokers relied on misleading information from cigarette makers to prevail on the claims.

A smoker's estate went to the high court after the 5th District Court of Appeal overturned a decision by an Orange County jury to award $16 million, calling the amount “excessive.”

Opponents of the mask mandate went to the state's high court in February after a panel of the 4th District Court of Appeal rejected their arguments.

Although the state has banned local governments from requiring people to wear masks, cases involving such mandates in Alachua and Palm Beach counties are still going through the courts.

A proposed constitutional amendment to allow recreational marijuana in Florida won’t be on the 2022 ballot after justices ruled ballot language is misleading.

The chief justice of Florida's Supreme Court says the state's justice system will soon be able to conduct court proceedings without masks and social-distancing.

Arguments involve allegations that the tobacco industry conspired to conceal info about smoking. More broadly, companies want justices to reconsider the decision that spurred the torrent of litigation.

Tampa-based Florigrown challenged the state’s system of requiring licensed medical marijuana operators to handle all aspects of the cannabis business.

Members of the public will be able to enter and move through courthouses across the state, while in-person court proceedings will continue to have mask requirements and social distancing.
