Eleventh Judicial Circuit of Florida

The Eleventh Judicial Circuit of Florida is the state trial-court circuit serving Miami-Dade County. It contains circuit and county courts within the Florida State Courts System and is one of the state's 20 judicial circuits. Ariana Fajardo Orshan has served as chief judge since July 2025.

The circuit's judges handle matters assigned to Florida's trial courts, including requests for state arrest warrants. A judge who signs a warrant decides whether the application establishes probable cause for arrest. That finding does not decide guilt, which remains for later proceedings with the accused entitled to contest the charge. The Eleventh Judicial Circuit is also distinct from the federal US Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. The similar names describe different courts, jurisdictions and levels of the American judicial system.
