Florida Rules of Civil Procedure

The Florida Rules of Civil Procedure govern, in the Florida Court system, how a lawsuit or case may be commenced, what kind of service of process (if any) is required, the types of pleadings or statements of case, motions or applications, and orders allowed in civil cases, the timing and manner of depositions and discovery or disclosure, the conduct of trials, the process for judgment, various available remedies, and how the courts and clerks must function. The Florida Rules of Civil Procedure are enacted, and may be edited from time to time, by the Florida Supreme Court.
