The Florida Supreme Court ruled against consolidating judicial circuits, with one Am Law 200 partner in West Palm Beach saying the move would have been a disaster since many circuits can hardly handle the load of cases they currently have on the docket. Manny Garcia-Linares, a partner at Day Pitney, said one proposal suggested consolidating the Monroe and Miami-Dade circuits. Both circuits have very different legal cases, such as fishery violations, he said, which are more of a concern in the Florida Keys than in Miami-Dade.
