The general counsel program of the St. Johns River Water Management District represents the District in all legal matters, with the exception of real property transactions, which are handled by retained real estate counsel. Legal services are delivered by providing advice to the Governing Board and District staff and by representing the District before the Florida Division of Administrative Hearings and in both state and federal courts.
