The Second District Court of Appeal in Florida, based in Lakeland, serves as the final appellate court for the Greater Tampa Bay area, overseeing appeals from circuit and county court decisions for nearly four million residents.
Established in 1956, the court consists of fifteen judges who hear cases in panels of three, with decisions requiring agreement from at least two judges. Currently undergoing construction for a new courthouse in Pinellas County, the court's operations will be temporarily located in Tampa until the new headquarters in St. Petersburg is completed in 2025.
