The latest edition of Florida Bar News Briefs, a weekly podcast dedicated to what’s happening in the legal profession, is now available with stories including:

• The Miami-Dade State Attorney praising Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Florida Legislature for approving “significant” salary increases for front-line prosecutors, investigators, and support staff.
• The Florida Bar's Rules Committee unanimously approving a proposal to create a new, narrowly tailored practice authorization that would allow certain out-of-state lawyers to provide limited legal services for nonprofit cancer research organizations conducting clinical trials in Florida.
• Nova Middle School winning the “We the People: The Citizen and the Constitution” national civics competition for the fourth consecutive year, a streak fueled by a husband-and-wife team of Florida lawyers who have transformed the school's law program into a national powerhouse.
