      Not too many people are so good that they “make minced meat out of them” but the client remains in custody.

      The SELL BY date has long since expired for BACDL
      It’s a shadow of what it was envisioned as filled with grimy little losers with their hands out. Such a shame.

    I heard they didn’t know what Reidy Award was for.
    But I’m glad they got it right. Gabe Ermine is the best.

    Why don’t they rename the Gulkan for Ms. Melisa McNeil, a real defense atty? I’m sure this Gulkan fellow was a nice man, but he was a prosector and a Judge before even becoming a defense atty. Ms. McNeil won the biggest trial. Against the greatest odds. She withstood the worst type of pressures. She never waivered. She epitomizes the Constitution. She was never a stooge for the State either. She’s a lifetime PD. And she was slimed by Scherer, one of the least professional and undeserving Judges in Broward history. BACDL should do this.

      Reidy was a mediocre attorney on his best day and spent more time kissing judge’s azzes than he ever did trying cases. He’d run from work like he had a bad case of crones.
      At least they put him out in the jail so he could schmooze inmates as opposed to embarrass the office near the end of his tenure. Don’t know how that equates to naming a lame award after him unless you’re a moron or they were short on nominees to fill a useless purpose.

    Gulkin was a SA and then a judge and lost his re-election. From what I understand he wasn’t in private practice very long at all. So what did he have to do with the criminal defense bar?

      Satzite probably. Like the rest of them. Lay down so they keep giving us handout cases. Mike’s good for business types.

          Harry Gulkin (November 14, 1927 – July 23, 2018)[2] was a Canadian film and theatre producer, arts director, and project manager from Montreal, Quebec. He produced the Golden Globe-winning film Lies My Father Told Me.

                Yes, check the Wikipedia link above re Harry Gulkin

                It’s about time someone around here pointed out that ASA Gulkin was a clever filmmaker, but that’s all.
                His lawyering wasn’t even noted on the Wikipedia page

                  I don’t think there’s anything wrong with recognizing his achievements by naming the Defense Attorneys Award after him buy maybe its time to update it and name it for like Roy Black or someone more linked to being a lawyer??

                    Ok, so Harry Gulkin, the Broward ASA, moonlighted in some filmmaking … So what?

                    Some say all that time Gulkin devoted on the side to his namesake film: “Lies My Father Told Me”, detracted from his job as an ASA, but BACDL still admires him.

                    BACDL gives out an award ea year in Gulkin’s name to the brown nosiest of their members.

                      Harv always had a sense of humor about the whole thing, even when some of us would tease him about being a Frenchy from Montreal. I suppose that isn’t acceptable kind of talk nowadays, but Harv took the ribbing in good fun, as it was meant.

                      Just a way to memorialize his death even if none of it was true. Not unheard of in this day of personality worship. He wasn’t any of those things. He wasn’t even much of a lawyer.

                      There’s a couple sayings in Hollywood when a Director disowns a film because it stinks: ‘DIrected by Howard Gluskin’ or ‘Alan Smithee’. The names are interchangeable but universally known to mean ‘this film’s a stinker.’

                      Why would he get a Golden Globe? He’s talented if he won that. Why would his name be used for so called stinkers?

                      Henry Galkman was a terrific lawyer and a terrific director. That’s why it’s named for him.

                    Correct, Gulkin was never “in” his films, he only directed them.

          Old Norm chased notoriety like his life depended on it. All the whacks wind up in South Florida somehow. He died owing everybody who was stupid enough cold hard cash.

          Come on don’t be disparaging Stormin Norm Kent. He couldn’t help it that pot smoke was coming out of his rectum from the night before during calendar calls.
          He was a zealot advocate. Just ask Neil My Queen.

      Gulkin never made much of a splash in criminal defense and wasn’t a judge very long. He went over with voters about as well as he did in defending a short list of defendants.

        Well, say what you want about ol Harry Gullikan, he may have been a BACDL-admired ASA, but all that free time he spent outside of court appears to have been put to good use w his filmmaking career.

    Qualification deadline is April 26th. Last chance to run again the racist bitch “Tasha bao bun” DePrimo. God help us if she stays on the bench. Fake racist bitch.

      Yeah, Deprimo is a self entitled, racist, bitchy cunt (who lies during campaign debates by raising her hand to claim she has “represented landlords or tenants” just to look acceptable).

      But hey, like the rest of you Broward losers;
      YOU GET WHAT YOU VOTED FOR!

      Ha, Ha !

      She’s the worst. No one likes her. Everyone is nice to her face because they don’t want to deal with her…but can’t wait to see her get BOOTED.

      You have no friends. Everyone hates you.

      Bye, racist bitch.

        I lost. In a three way. She got 70% of the vote. But here I am pretending to be other people because I learned the hard way not to post with my real name. But I’m still a bitter loser that had to close my office because I couldn’t pay the rent living off wheel handouts.

            Oh, and by using the name Roscoe, he isn’t “pretending” – he’s doing that to be in your face and to LET YOU KNOW IT’S HIM!

          Conway the con-job lost because he never campaigned. Just sat back hoping because his last name started with a C he might against all odds win. It was a roll of the dice with nothing to lose but the filing fee.

            Sounds about right.
            Play ball / ante up. Or sit on the sidelines w your dick in your hand.

            I never fault anyone w the courage to throw their name in the hat.

            Many talk the talk, few do more than that.
            Conway would’ve been a great County judge, in my opinion

          That Aturd greased his way through an unbelievably corrupt and inept judiciary. Hence he was known as the go fetch it girl by all the Broward judges that needed to keep their fingerprints off the squirm jobs.

    QUESTION?
    WHY ARE SO MANY PEOPLE LEAVING OR HAVE LEFT SUCH A GREAT JOB AT THE COURTHOUSE?
    IS IT BECAUSE OF THE CLERK, DIAN AND DUANE? EXPLAIN…..

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

    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 black man 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. So now you know.

      This is fascinating stuff. I had no idea, nor the people at the courthouse I was talking to last week about Howie. I mean, wow. So why hasn’t Judge Tuter named a courtroom after him? I seriously believe the whole courthouse should be renamed for him after reading and that the peanut butter Skippy guy name’s should come off, but I bet the family has too much money to win that fight. So how about it? The Glupman Courtroom?

      He certainly won’t be mistaken for any of the sellouts in BACDL then. The scrapers that belong to BACDL couldn’t try their way out of a wet paper bag and are only interested in getting paid the pittance they can collect from getting a court appointment when they can scrounge one up.
      Don’t take any wooden nickels from that bunch. I wouldn’t.
      Gulkin was never involved in any film production.

      What don’t they name a courtroom for Ryal or some of the other real war heroes. Instead of the politicians who never risked their lives and served our country.

        You mean the unwarranted and illegal war on Vietnam where 4 million civilians were killed in which we lost the conflict and now has one of the most vibrant and growing economies in the world > That Vietnam ?
        Nothing to be proud of as an American Imperialist. A bunch of jarheads playing GI Joe and hiding behind the flag.

            That terrible war was very divisive but at least Glupkan didn’t run back to Canada like so many. He stood his ground.

              Plus—-he had a deferment. He was studying at Toronto Film School. And he still answered the call despite the student deferment and being a Canadian.
