Certiorari review of discovery orders occupies one of the most nuanced and fast-moving areas of Florida appellate practice. This webinar will provide a practical roadmap for evaluating when extraordinary relief is available, identifying the types of discovery errors that can support certiorari jurisdiction, and effectively presenting or opposing petitions seeking immediate appellate review.
Learning Objectives
As a result of attending this seminar, the learner will be able to:
- Identify the categories of discovery orders that are subject to certiorari review and distinguish them from orders reviewable only on plenary appeal.
- Analyze the jurisdictional requirements for certiorari relief, including material injury, irreparable harm, and departure from the essential requirements of law.
- Apply key Florida appellate rules, procedural deadlines, and leading case law governing petitions seeking review of discovery orders.
- Develop effective strategies for drafting, opposing, and preserving issues related to certiorari petitions arising from discovery disputes.
