1Under the Florida Constitution, which branch of government has the exclusive authority to regulate the practice of law in Florida?
A.The Florida Legislature
B.The Florida Supreme Court
C.The Florida Bar Association
D.The Governor of Florida
Explanation: Article V, Section 15 of the Florida Constitution vests exclusive authority to regulate the admission and discipline of persons to the practice of law in the Supreme Court of Florida. This is a fundamental structural principle of Florida government that distinguishes it from some other states where the legislature shares regulatory authority.
2Under Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.510, what is the standard a court must apply when ruling on a motion for summary judgment?
A.The movant must show that there is no genuine issue of material fact and is entitled to judgment as a matter of law
B.The movant must demonstrate a probability of success on the merits at trial
C.The movant must prove the case by clear and convincing evidence without a trial
D.The movant must show that the nonmoving party has failed to state a claim
Explanation: Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.510, as amended in 2021 to adopt the federal Celotex standard, requires the movant to show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. This replaced Florida's prior Huck v. Dawson standard, which had placed a higher burden on the movant.
3Under Florida Statute § 732.502, which of the following is required for a valid attested will in Florida?
A.The will must be signed by two witnesses in the presence of a notary public only
B.The will must be signed by the testator or by another person in the testator's presence and at the testator's direction, and must be signed by at least two attesting witnesses in the presence of the testator and each other
C.The will must be signed by the testator and acknowledged before any single disinterested witness
D.The will must be signed by the testator and filed with the clerk of the circuit court within 30 days
Explanation: Florida Statute § 732.502 requires that a valid attested will be (1) in writing, (2) signed by the testator or by another person in the testator's presence and at the testator's direction, and (3) signed in the presence of the testator and in the presence of each other by at least two attesting witnesses. Florida does not recognize holographic (handwritten, unwitnessed) wills under § 732.502(2).
4A Florida attorney represents both the buyer and the seller in a residential real estate transaction. Under Rule 4-1.7 of the Rules Regulating the Florida Bar, what must the attorney do?
A.The attorney may represent both parties without any additional requirements because real estate transactions are routine
B.The attorney must decline representation of both parties because dual representation is always prohibited in Florida
C.The attorney must reasonably believe that competent and diligent representation can be provided to each client, and each client must give informed consent confirmed in writing
D.The attorney must obtain verbal consent from both parties and file a disclosure with the Florida Bar
Explanation: Under Rule 4-1.7 of the Rules Regulating the Florida Bar, a concurrent conflict of interest exists when representing both buyer and seller. Representation is permissible only if the attorney reasonably believes competent and diligent representation can be provided, the representation is not prohibited by law, the clients are not asserting claims against each other, and each client gives informed consent confirmed in writing.
5In Florida, under § 90.803(1), what is the hearsay exception for present sense impressions?
A.A statement describing or explaining an event, made while the declarant was perceiving the event or immediately thereafter
B.A statement made under the stress of excitement caused by a startling event
C.A statement of the declarant's then-existing state of mind or physical condition
D.A statement made for purposes of medical diagnosis or treatment
Explanation: Florida Statute § 90.803(1) provides a hearsay exception for present sense impressions — statements describing or explaining an event or condition made while the declarant was perceiving the event or condition, or immediately thereafter. This mirrors Federal Rule of Evidence 803(1) and does not require the declarant to be unavailable.
6Under Florida's comparative negligence statute (§ 768.81), what is the effect of a plaintiff being found 51% or more at fault for their injuries?
A.The plaintiff's recovery is reduced by their percentage of fault but is not barred
B.The plaintiff is completely barred from recovery
C.The plaintiff may still recover up to 50% of damages from any defendant
D.The court must order a new trial to reassess fault allocation
Explanation: In 2023, Florida enacted HB 837 (the tort reform bill), which changed Florida from a pure comparative negligence state to a modified comparative negligence state. Under the amended § 768.81, a plaintiff who is found to be greater than 50% at fault is completely barred from recovery. This is a significant change from Florida's prior system, which allowed recovery regardless of the plaintiff's percentage of fault.
7Under Florida Statute § 61.075, which of the following is NOT considered a marital asset subject to equitable distribution upon dissolution of marriage?
A.Assets acquired during the marriage by either party individually
B.The enhancement in value of nonmarital assets resulting from the efforts of either party during the marriage
C.An inheritance received by one spouse during the marriage that was kept in a separate account and never commingled
D.Interspousal gifts made during the marriage
Explanation: Under Florida Statute § 61.075(7)(b), assets acquired separately by noninterspousal gift, bequest, devise, or descent are classified as nonmarital assets. An inheritance received by one spouse and kept separate without commingling remains a nonmarital asset. However, if the inheritance is commingled with marital funds or the other spouse contributes to its appreciation, it may become partially marital.
8Under Article I, Section 23 of the Florida Constitution, Florida residents are afforded a right not explicitly found in the U.S. Constitution. What is this right?
A.The right to keep and bear arms without any state regulation
B.The right of privacy
C.The right to a speedy civil trial within 90 days
D.The right to free public university education
Explanation: Article I, Section 23 of the Florida Constitution provides an explicit right of privacy, stating that every natural person has the right to be let alone and free from governmental intrusion into the person's private life. This provision has been interpreted more broadly than federal constitutional privacy protections and has been applied in contexts ranging from medical records to personal autonomy.
9A Florida limited liability company (LLC) is formed by filing articles of organization with which state agency?
A.The Florida Department of Revenue
B.The Florida Division of Corporations under the Department of State
C.The Florida Office of Financial Regulation
D.The Florida Secretary of the Senate
Explanation: Under the Florida Revised Limited Liability Company Act (Chapter 605, Florida Statutes), an LLC is formed by filing articles of organization with the Florida Division of Corporations, which operates under the Florida Department of State. The articles must include the LLC's name, mailing address, registered agent, and whether it is manager-managed or member-managed (§ 605.0201).
10Under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.191, a defendant charged with a felony who is not brought to trial within how many days of arrest may file a demand for speedy trial?
A.60 days
B.90 days
C.175 days
D.365 days
Explanation: Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.191(a) provides that every person charged with a felony shall be brought to trial within 175 days of arrest. For misdemeanors, the period is 90 days. If the state fails to bring the defendant to trial within these time periods, the defendant may file a notice of expiration and demand for speedy trial under Rule 3.191(b).

FL Bar Study Tips from Top Performers

1Florida homestead law is heavily tested: memorize the exemption limits (no dollar cap; 1/2 acre in municipality, 160 acres outside), the devise restrictions (cannot devise away from surviving spouse or minor child), and the life estate/remainder distribution when the property descends
2For Florida civil procedure, know the differences from federal rules: 20-day answer period (vs. federal 21 days), 30 interrogatory limit, 6-person civil juries, and the 2021 adoption of the Celotex summary judgment standard
3Florida's 2023 tort reform (HB 837) changed comparative negligence from pure to modified (51% bar rule) — this is a critical distinction and frequently tested
4Florida Evidence Code treats party admissions as a hearsay exception under §90.803(18), unlike the Federal Rules which classify them as non-hearsay under FRE 801(d)(2) — this is a favorite bar exam distinction
5For Florida criminal law, master Stand Your Ground (§776.012) and Castle Doctrine (§776.013) — know that the burden shifted to the prosecution in 2017 to prove immunity does not apply by clear and convincing evidence
6Florida eliminated permanent alimony in 2023 (SB 1416), leaving only temporary, bridge-the-gap, rehabilitative, and durational alimony — know the maximum durations for durational alimony based on marriage length
