Winter Garden resident Jamie Grosshans appointed to Florida Supreme Court

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced the appointment of Judge Jamie Grosshans, a Winter Garden resident, to the Florida Supreme Court.

Grosshans fills the vacancy created by former Florida Supreme Court Justice Robert Luck’s appointment to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit by President Donald Trump.

“I’m pleased to announce that I’ve selected Judge Jamie Grosshans to serve as a justice on the Florida Supreme Court,” DeSantis said. “As an appeals court judge, a successful lawyer in private practice and a working mother of three, I am confident that Judge Grosshans’ breadth of experience in the legal profession and in life will make her a successful Supreme Court justice, and I look forward to her assuming the bench on our state’s highest court.”

Grosshans, 41, currently serves as a judge on the Florida Fifth District Court of Appeal, where she has served since 2018. Prior to the Florida Fifth District Court of Appeal, she served as an Orange County Court judge in the Ninth Judicial Circuit of Florida, presiding over criminal and civil matters.

Grosshans received her J.D. from the University of Mississippi School of Law, where she graduated cum laude. Following law school, she served as an assistant state attorney for Orange County and later founded her own law firm focusing on family law and criminal defense.
