Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

Re: supreme court opinions

If you mean the US Supreme Court, the term begins the first Monday in October and ends at the end of June the follwoing year. All opinions will be issued by June.

If you're talking about the Florida supreme court, it usually takes between a few weeks to a few months.

Re: supreme court opinions

To pick up on Mr. Rose's answer, I've seen many cases where the FL Supremes can take over a year. It all depends on not just their calendar, but also how easily they reach an opinion. Generally, the faster the opinion, the easier the decision. Usually if the Court is taking a longer than normal time to issue its opinion, something pretty major is going to come down.

(Again though. That's for the Florida Supremes.)

It could take a year or so.

Re: supreme court opinions

Supreme Court doesn't follow time limit! Power of Supreme Court comes from Constitution and not from general laws.
