Documents and where they go at the Florida Supreme Court

A matter reaches the Florida Supreme Court on a petition for review or a writ application, followed by briefing on the court's schedule. The court decides which cases to hear, and the parties brief the issues once review is granted. What you might fax is a courtesy copy or correspondence, not the petition or brief, which belongs in the e-filing system.

Faxing to Supreme Court of Florida — FAQ

Yes. A courtesy copy for opposing counsel or a document to a party is a common fax in a matter at the Florida Supreme Court. The rules sometimes allow fax service on a consenting party, with proof of the transmission kept. Verify consent and the rule, send from your computer, and note it in the file.

The current line comes from the Florida Supreme Court's official court website, since clerk's-office numbers change. The court's official page names the clerk's office and whether it takes fax at all. A quick check beats faxing to a number that has moved.

Not as a filing. The Florida Supreme Court runs its docket through the state's e-filing system. An attorney e-files through the system; a self-represented filer usually files on paper by mail or at the clerk's counter. For anything that is not a filing, ask the receiving office whether it accepts fax first.

The Clerk of the Court's office is the contact point for non-filing business at the Florida Supreme Court. Staff can confirm whether a document is faxable or must go on the electronic docket. Ask the clerk's office whether it takes your document by fax and what its working line is.

The Florida Supreme Court is reached by a petition for review, and briefing follows through e-filing. The court decides which cases to hear, and the parties brief the issues once review is granted. Fax is for a courtesy copy or clerk's-office correspondence, where those recipients accept it. Confirm the current fax with the clerk's office at the Florida Supreme Court before you send, and check it accepts the document. Doing it that way avoids the most common cause of a delay.
