The new frontrunner for South Florida's U.S. attorney spot, Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Ariana Fajardo Orshan, caught some attorneys off guard given her background.
“Who is this person?” asked a commenter on attorney David Markus' Southern District of Florida blog after Politico broke the news, a nod to the fact that Fajardo has never been a federal prosecutor.
But those who know the family court judge say her experience as a Miami-Dade prosecutor and judge on the criminal bench have prepared her for the post if nominated.
