The Florida Supreme Court is making new appellate judges’ participation in the first phase of a Florida Judicial College course discretionary rather than mandatory, which brought a rebuke from one of the justices, who continues to fire back at his colleagues on administrative matters.
“I strongly disagree with dropping the requirement that all new appellate judges ‘who have never been a trial judge or who have never attended Phase I of the Florida Judicial College as a magistrate must also attend Phase I of the Florida Judicial College,’” Justice Jorge Labarga wrote in his brief dissent.
