    Imagine a world where judges actually paid consequences for disregarding the law. Instead of MAYBE getting reversed (if the lazy 4th feels like working), imagine there was a tangible sanction.

      CEOs get fired. Waiters get fired. College football coaches get fired. Salesmen get fired. Nurses get fired. Mechanics get fired.

      Everyone in society gets fired! Yet judge is the only job where you can do an ATROCIOUS job – or barely work – and not get fired.

      Why? Why do we tolerate this as a society?

        The JQC is crammed with Judges. Judges judging Judges. The unaccountable held unaccountable by the unaccountable. If they held Judges accountable they themselves would transform themselves into those that could be held accountable. Meaning it ain’t gonna happen people.

    You don’t reward someone who does a terrible job by promoting them to a better and higher paying job. That just guarantees you’ll have a terrible judge.

      Broward is too ‘woke’, and most everything here is race based.
      Putting a certain demographic in leadership positions based solely on the color of the skin has proven disastrous (look at Chicago L.A etc)

      Nah, Broward has no hope.

          Sorry, no they do not.
          They calculate child support and some family issues and probate issues that the judge then needs to sign off on. They do not do trials, jury trials, and on and on. Remember, they are hired by court admin essentially, they are not constitutional officers.

        Trump, Musk Desantis = MAGA.
        MAGA means stop government waste.
        Make America Great Again means people work full days or get fired.
        No one is above MAGA.

    A real legal marauders row. I think really great lawyers don’t want to be judges anymore. It’s a real problem with the judiciary and there isn’t a good solution to it. But rest assured whoever gets it will bend over backwards to be obsessed with being a state circuit Judge. The thing that is the best is the ass kissing to get the seat and then the complete opposite when they get it.

    A judge once said you know when a judge isn’t funny anymore and no one laughs at their jokes? WHEN THEY ARENT JUDGES.

    The corn dogs that continually apply represent the worst of what Broward has to offer as judges. No legal scholars in this bunch. Just the same old hackers looking for a job where they can skate until retirement if they make it to the finish line. Most will probably be challenged as there are plenty of other hacks looking for the same thing. Most of them are just looking for a free ride with lax attendance records. Empty courtrooms in Broward tell the real story.

                      Why didn’t he agree to boot Big Baby Scherer off the case when the D lawyers asked? He lost it because of her. The jury hated her more than the murderer. Satz probably thought she was good for him. He was out of his league big time.

                      The State lawyers were too out of touch. They didn’t understand what the case was about—-mitigation. The only way they could’ve won was to bring in a talented and charismatic top dog defense attorney as a special prosecutor as was done with George Floyd in Minnesota. Frankie Hankerson or David Bogenschytz would have kicked the public defenders butts.

              True story: Frankie was once all but guaranteed a Federal Court Judgeship. The same one people said MJS had been offered. But I know for a fact it was Frankie’s first. A lock. He turned it down. Because he said he always identified with the underdog and worried he couldn’t be impartial on the bench. Do they make them like Frankie anymore? Hell no.

                  More fake news. Wrong putz. Gulkin was an old rusted-out broke lawyer who lost a re-election bid to be a judge after getting appointed by the JNC here in Broweird.
                  And for that they want to award you a package of stale hotdogs.

                      Gulkin was a defense attorney, was appointed to judge and then lost re-election and went back to being a defense atty. He died of cancer. His name was Harry Gulkin, not Glupkin.

                      His film “Lies My Father Told Me” is said to be a subtle dig at his parents for convincing him to become a Broward lawyer.

                He completely changed after he met Ethel. I hope he’s reading this too. He cheated on his first wife. Busted up the marriage because of Ethel. Ethel was an overbearing, cheating shrew. I’ll say it to his face too. But I won’t go to his banquet.

                  His marriage couldn’t have been busted up, if it was solid. Maybe his first wife did nothing to support him, no sex, and just liked to spend money. No matter how flat you make a pancake, it will always have two sides.

                      Frankie had to report his own wife to the JQC. That’s what really led to the breakup. Not Ethel. Frankie always took his ethical obligations seriously. Unlike others. He’s a credit to the profession. His wife was abusing prescription diet drugs (speed) and Valium. She was drinking in the mornings before taking the bench to take the edge of. Frankie and some close friends and family tried to get her into rehab. She refused. He absolutely had to report her. It ended the marriage. Ethel was an innocent bystander.

                      It sounds like his wife was a real mess. I’m glad he found someone that made him happy. So many women don’t care about their looks, hygiene, sex etc. then they wonder why their husbands cheat. Men like to know their partner is alive during sex, just laying there and playing dead is a real turn off.

    Frankie Hankerson is dead.
    After being informed he had won BACDL’s highest honor, he asked to be taken off of life support.
    Frankie died peacefully Sunday night with a smile on his face, having finally achieved his highest ambition.
    There will not be a service as Frankie’s wish is to have his ashes scattered over Guadalcanal where he fought in WW II.
    His family asks any donations be made to the SAO’s Sealing and Expungement Clinic.
    BACDL will have to choose a new winner worthy of Frankie’s legacy.

    I knew Harvey Glupkin. Harvey Glupkin was a friend of mine. You sir, are no Harvey Glupkin.

    He is mostly known for his films. But there was another side to Glupkin- here is his story:

    Harvey was born to a poor sharecropper in the sugarcane fields of South Florida. He overcame extreme poverty becoming the first in his family not only to finish high school, but to go to college.
    He attended Harvard on an academic scholarship where he graduated Summa Cum Laude. Not only an academic genius, he was also a remarkable sportsman. Glupkin lettered in baseball, basketball, lacrosse and was quarterback and captain of the football team leading Harvard to its only national championship. He went on to Yale Law School where he was editor of the law review and graduated first in his class.
    After law school Harvey was drafted into the army and fought in the rice paddies of Viet Nam. He was awarded the Medal of Honor for single-handedly wiping out a Viet Cong battalion and saving his entire platoon from certain death.
    After the war he returned to Broward and practiced law. His exploits as a defense attorney are unparalleled. During the week of July 6th, 1978, Glupkin defended three pro bono trials simultaneously running from courtroom to courtroom between witnesses. In the first case, Glupkin defended a hispanic male wrongfully accused of rape and murder. The second case was an alleged cop killer and the third case was a black man arrested for selling marijuana, which was, at that time, a capital offense. Glupkin won acquittals in all three cases on the same day. This was the first BACDL hat trick.
    Harvey never lost a trial during his 30 year career as an attorney, which is why BACDL honors him through the coveted Glupkin award. He later went on to make films. So now you know.

      ‘Lies My Father Told Me’ hasn’t aged well but I will admit when Zaida tells young David (a thinly veiled version of our very own Harry) that ‘justice for our kind is to be found on the beaches of South Florida’ I cried unashamedly.
      It’s on YouTube. The whole film.

    Let the guy alone. He’s dead. I can’t find any evidence of his having had anything to do with the movie industry either. It’s just a bunch of bunk.
