  • Who Is A Professional In Florida ( January 1996 )
    Susan Droppleman Duff of Rumberger, Kirk & Caldwell PA

    In considering the class of persons to whom a two year statute of limitations for professional malpractice applies, the Supreme Court of Florida defined a profession as "a vocation requiring, as a minimum standard, a college degree in a specific field." In other words, if the state of Florida requires a person to complete a four year college degree in a particular field to become licensed in that field, then the occupation is a profession.
