Columbia is the regional anchor of the 3rd Judicial Circuit — Lake City is the largest population center, the regional hospital hub, and the VA outpatient center for North Florida. Probate filings go to the Columbia County Courthouse in Lake City. The chief judge sits in Live Oak (Suwannee), but Columbia carries the bulk of the population.
