The Chief Justice of the Florida Supreme Court has appointed Judge Robert W. Lee as one of 10 county judges state-wide to the newly-established Work Group on County Court Jurisdiction. The work group will evaluate whether the county court jurisdiction and small claims jurisdiction limits should be adjusted, the appropriate amount of any such adjustment, and whether there should be periodic adjustments in the future while also exploring technologies that may enhance access to justice in such cases. As part of The LongRange Strategic Plan for the Florida Judicial Branch 2016-2021, the work group will also make recommendations for next steps, which may include one or more pilot projects including but not limited to on-line dispute resolution.
