As we told you back in April of last year, Carol-Lisa Phillips will become Broward’s next Chief Judge in July.
A majority of the judges will have to vote for her on February 3rd, a near certainty, since she’s running unopposed with nominating deadlines expired.
Jack Tuter, termed out this June under Florida Rules of General Practice and Judicial Administration Rule 2.125 (c)(4) (known in Broward as “The Dale Ross Rule”), is rumored to also possibly be retiring from the bench entirely.
Since JAABLOG is the last place Jack will confirm his plans, we’ll just have to wait and see on that one …
CONGRATULATIONS!
