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 Florida Supreme Court amending statewide court rules to require attorneys and self-represented litigants to certify that legal authorities cited in filings are accurate.
• The FBI warning that a cybercrime group increasingly targeting law firms is using fake IT support calls — and even in-person visits — to gain access to sensitive legal data and extort victims.
• Concerned about looming deficits, the Legislature approving a $114.5 billion budget that includes some, but not all, court spending priorities.

Florida Bar News Briefs is a production of The Florida Bar Journal & News Department's multimedia network/.
