Gainesville, Alachua County or North Florida Criminal Court System
The criminal justice system in Florida consists of a huge network of police, prosecutors, judges, attorneys, courthouses, and criminal justice facilities. As you may expect, there is a large variance in how cases are handled in different parts of the state of Florida. The judicial system extends downward from the Florida Supreme Court, District Courts of Appeal, Circuit Courts (handling felony criminal cases), and County Courts (handling misdemeanor offenses). Each of these Courts has a diverse multitude of Judges who oversee cases in their respective jurisdictions. Between different jurisdictions cases have been decided with different results, which over time can lead to big differences in lower Court judicial philosophies and can extend even to differences in sentencing practices and views of certain types of police conduct. It is important that your defense attorney has experience in their region so you are informed about the local practices, as well as important distinctions between different judges, prosecutors, and appellate trends in your region.
