Rules Regulating The Florida Bar — Grievance Mediation and Fee Arbitration – 2026
The Bar's alternative to a disciplinary proceeding and to a fee suit, 12 rules. Rule 14-1.1 establishes the Florida Bar Grievance Mediation and Fee Arbitration Program as a means to empower complainants and respondents to resolve their disputes, and the chapter then sets its jurisdiction, the authority of the Board of Governors over it, and how these rules relate to the arbitration statutes. Subchapter 14-2 is the standing committee, 14-3 the approval of program mediators and arbitrators, and 14-4 how a proceeding is instituted — arbitration proceedings and grievance mediation proceedings each have their own rules. Subchapter 14-5 governs the effect of agreeing to mediate or arbitrate, including what happens when a party fails to appear, and 14-7 the immunity and confidentiality that attach.
