A Collaborative Effort by the Florida Academic Law Libraries
Most of these digital projects were compiled by the Florida State University College of Law Research Center with financial support from the law libraries of Barry University, Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University, Florida International University, Florida State University, Nova Southeastern University, St. Thomas University, Stetson University, Thomas M. Cooley Law School, University of Florida, and University of Miami.
Florida Supreme Court Briefs and Opinions
This set contains opinions issued since July 1986 and the briefs filed in those cases; as well as some earlier opinions and briefs. New cases are added at the end of each week the Court is in session.
Recordings of Oral Arguments from 1984 until 1997 are available on the FALL Digitized Legal Collections.
Recordings of Oral Arguments from 1997 - present are available on the Florida Supreme Court's video portal.
Florida Statutes 1955-1996
This set contains scanned images of Florida Statutes 1955 - 1996.
Since 1999, the Florida Statutes has been published in its entirety annually. Previously, the statutes were published following each odd-year regular session, and a supplement was published following each even-year regular session. The supplement only contains laws that were changed in an even numbered year. If no changes were made to the law in an even-numbered year, check the prior year's statue for the law in effect that year. For example if a law is missing from the 1982 supplement go back to the 1981 Florida Statutes to find the law.

Included are copies of each Florida constitution as existed upon ratification, proposed amendments, and Florida Supreme Court decisions affecting ballot position. Also included, when available, are cites to contemporary analyses of the various proposals prepared by the Public Administration Clearing Service as part of their Civic Information Series for the 1997-1998 process.
Jo Dowling, former Assistant Librarian of the Florida Supreme Court, compiled the documents for the 1997-1998 website. Florida State University College of Law and the College of Law Research Center created the 1997-1998 website to provide virtual access.
