The Florida Order Ratifying Agreement to Transfer Jurisdiction and Venue for Disposition is a legal document that is used to officially transfer the jurisdiction and venue for the disposition of a particular case from one court to another. The agreement applies to civil and criminal proceedings that are pending in a particular state, county, or district court. This document is used to transfer the case to a court where it will be decided upon more quickly, or to ensure that the case is heard by a judge who is more familiar with the particular facts and circumstances of the case. There are two types of Florida Order Ratifying Agreement to Transfer Jurisdiction and Venue for Disposition: one for civil matters and one for criminal matters. The document is signed by the judge or magistrate and must be approved by the state's highest court prior to its implementation.
