Capital Collateral Attorney Registry
Capital Collateral Regional Counsels
Effective July 1, 2013, the Legislature repealed the Capital Collateral Registry Attorney Pilot
Project for the Northern Region and reinstated the Northern Office of Capital Collateral Regional Counsel.
Ch. 2013-216, Laws of Florida (CS/CS/HB 7083). Accordingly, there will now be three offices of Capital
Collateral Regional Counsel (CCRC), located in the northern, middle, and southern regions of the state.
The northern region is comprised of the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Judicial
Circuits; the middle region is comprised of the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Ninth, Tenth, Twelfth, Thirteenth,
and Eighteenth Judicial Circuits; and the southern region is comprised of the Eleventh, Fifteenth, Sixteenth,
Seventeenth, Nineteenth, and Twentieth Judicial Circuits.
Capital Collateral Attorney Registry
The Justice Administrative Commission (JAC) will continue to
maintain the registry of private attorneys who have indicated their eligibility to be appointed to represent indigent
defendants in capital collateral cases. For the purpose of private court appointment, two CCRCs must have an actual
conflict of interest, as required by the new law. Moreover, the new law transferred the contracting and payment of
private court-appointed Capital Collateral Registry Attorneys from the Department of Financial Services to the JAC
effective July 1, 2013.
