In addition to appellate jurisdiction, the Florida Supreme Court and Florida’s district courts of appeal have original jurisdiction to issue various types of writs. These original proceedings expand the scope of relief available in Florida’s appellate courts beyond the relatively limited appellate review. For example, while appeals are available only from final judgments and from a limited class of nonfinal orders, original writs often can be used to obtain relief from interlocutory orders for which no immediate appeal exists. In addition, original writs can be used to prevent harm that a final appeal would not adequately remedy.
