Judge — Sixth District Court of Appeal
Judge Joshua A. Mize joined the Sixth District Court of Appeal on January 1, 2023, following his appointment by Governor Ron DeSantis.
Judge Mize received his undergraduate degrees in History and Finance from the University of Florida. Judge Mize then attended the University of Florida College of Law, graduating magna cum laude in the top 2% of his class. During law school, Judge Mize served as an editor of the Florida Law Review. Upon graduation, Judge Mize was inducted into the Order of the Coif based on academic achievement.
Judge Mize began his legal career in private practice with a prominent law firm in Tampa. Judge Mize subsequently practiced law at two national law firms, as well as his own law firm, litigating complex commercial disputes, intellectual property disputes and consumer protection cases in federal and state courts throughout the United States.
In February 2021, Governor Ron DeSantis appointed Judge Mize as a Circuit Judge on the Ninth Judicial Circuit, and the citizens of Orange and Osceola Counties elected him to retain that position in 2022.
Since July 2024, Judge Mize has served as the Associate Dean for the New Appellate Judges Program in the Florida Judicial College. In that position, he directs the education program that all new appellate judges in Florida must complete upon their appointment.

No judge-scoped deadlines on this tab. Deadlines are extracted only when the source rule text states them — we never infer or calculate dates the rule does not explicitly contain.
Timing shown here is quoted from the rule text. Compute your actual date against the court's calendar and the rule itself — not legal advice.
No verified ruling summary yet. BenchPath generates ruling summaries from opinion and docket corpora (CourtListener where covered) and publishes them only after human review — fabricated judicial analytics are exactly what this platform refuses to ship.
