17TH CIRCUIT JNC SEEKS COUNTY AND CIRCUIT JUDICIAL APPLICANTS
The 17th Circuit Judicial Nominating Commission has been asked to provide Gov. Ron DeSantis with nominees for the vacancies in the Broward circuit and county court created by the elevations of Circuit Judge Marlon J. Weiss to the Fourth District Court of Appeal and Broward Court Judge Jeremy I. Franker to the circuit bench.
Applicants must meet the qualifications for circuit and county court judges described in Article V, Section 8 of the Florida Constitution.
Applications must be received by 12 p.m. on Friday, October 9, as follows: The application may be downloaded in .pdf and Word format.
- The original unredacted application shall be emailed in .pdf format to: [email protected]. Note: Receipt of the application will be confirmed in writing.
- The application must indicate whether the applicant wishes to be considered for the circuit, county, or both positions.
- A redacted .pdf of the application shall be separately emailed to [email protected]. Personal information not subject to public disclosure — such as a Social Security number — Shall be redacted as permitted by Section 119.071 of the Florida Statutes.
Untimely applications will not be considered. The filename for .pdf applications should be as follows: “FIRSTNAME LASTNAME Application (redacted or unredacted).” Applicants are asked to strictly follow all requests and instructions in this notice. Failure to do so could result in an application not being considered.
To assist the Judicial Nominating Commission in its review of applications, all questions must be fully and completely answered. Applications must include current contact information, including e-mail addresses, for judges, co-counsel, opposing counsel, and references to facilitate the background investigation that will be conducted by the members of the Commission. Print to .pdf in lieu of scanning where possible.
Include all letters of recommendation that the applicant wishes the commission to consider and any additional information that the applicant feels may be helpful to the commission in assessing the applicant’s qualifications. The application, letters, and additional information should be appended into one PDF file and the original and redacted files should be identical except for the confidential information removed in the redacted copy.
The commission suggests that applications be submitted as soon as they are prepared and well before the deadline. Applicants granted an interview will be scheduled in the order in which applications are received.
After the deadline for submitting applications, the Commission will determine which applicants will be interviewed. At this time, it is anticipated that interviews will be conducted in person on October 20, although this date is subject to change.
