On June 26, 2025, the Florida Governor signed the Mitigation Banks bill (SB492/HB1175) into law. This new law significantly updates the state's wetland mitigation banking program, impacting how mitigation credits are obtained, released, and tracked statewide. Under Florida and federal law, wetland mitigation is required to offset unavoidable impacts to wetlands resulting from development, the most common form of mitigation being wetland mitigation bank credits.
I must confess: while I enjoyed my 2L year, I have been counting down the days until the start of my second summer at Bilzin Sumberg. Last summer was an incredible experience, and throughout the school year I found myself missing the wonderful people I had worked with and wondering about the fascinating projects I had contributed to.
The American Bar Association’s Model Rules of Professional Conduct has a preamble that describes a lawyer as “an officer of the legal system and a public citizen having special responsibility for the quality of justice.” Though I’ve only been working at Bilzin Sumberg for six weeks now as a summer associate, I can confidently say that Bilzin ensures that all of its attorneys and staff truly take that special responsibility for the quality of justice seriously.
