The Florida Supreme Court held that executing a 77-year-old defendant experiencing cognitive decline does not violate the Eighth Amendment because the United States Supreme Court has recognized only one age-based exemption from execution—the prohibition against executing juveniles—and the conformity clause in the Florida Constitution binds Florida courts to the federal floor. The Court held that the compressed warrant period does not violate due process because the defendant received notice and opportunity to be heard, had adequate access to counsel, and failed to demonstrate prejudice.

Fair warning from the bench.

Florida courts — state and federal — have run out of patience with fabricated citations. We built FLexlaw to bridge the gap between leading‑edge technology and professional responsibility.

From the bench

Three accuracy gates. Every answer.

Hallucinated citations are the reason A.I. gets lawyers sanctioned. FLexlaw is built to catch them before they reach your brief. No system is perfect — verify anything critical before filing.

Gate 1

Citation gate

Every citation the assistant writes is checked against our corpus before the response renders. If our check flags a case as unverifiable, the answer is withheld or surfaced with a warning.

Gate 2

Quote gate

Quoted passages are programmatically checked against the source opinion. Apparent misquotes are flagged — or replaced with the matched text — before you see the answer.

Gate 3

Verify flags

When the model is extrapolating, we tell you. A Verify flag next to any proposition links to the underlying passage so you can read it yourself in one click.

The FLexlaw Reporter

Every modern Florida opinion, citable from day one.

We publish our own reporter. Every Florida Supreme Court and DCA opinion, professionally typeset, with continuous pagination and clean Bluebook citations in the form 2026 FL 147.

Cite it in a brief. Pull the PDF. Search it by page.
