Re: Florida State Courts

There is no "Federal State Court." In the Florida State Court System the order of review is County Court - Circuit Court -District Court of Appeal - Florida Supreme Court - US Supreme Court. In the Federal Court System the order is local District Court - District Court of Appeals -US Supreme Court. There is no automatic review, a party must ask the higher court to review the lower court's decision.
