In Re: Amendments to Florida Rule of General Practice and Judicial Administration 2.320

Supreme Court of Florida

In Re: Amendments to Florida Rule of General Practice and Judicial Administration 2.320—(Per Curiam; FLSC; 2/2/23).

The Supreme Court of Florida has amended the rule on the judicial ethics CLE requirements, deleting the statement that courses on “fairness and diversity” can be used to fulfill that requirement.

JUSTICE LABARGA DISSENTED, noting that the move “paves the way for a complete dismantling of all fairness and diversity initiatives in the State Courts System.” As recently as 2020 and 2021, the court had seen a need for more training in this area, but now, without public comment, it is sweeping away references to fairness or diversity.
