Pando's bar ratings were the worst among sitting county court judges in both categories. Almost 36% said she was unqualified in an overall evaluation. No one else was rated as unqualified by more than 28%. This, despite being the most defense oriented judge on the bench while in criminal court. How could that happen? Partly because she's now in civil. But, more importantly I suspect, because over 32% found her unqualified in professionalism (Shelly and Karen were the only county court judges who were close). Nobody likes judges who are or were routinely late for court and don't know the law.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-1147477143811985092006-05-12T19:39:00.000-04:002006-05-12T19:39:00.000-04:00is he vindictive cause i got to give to kmf.is he vindictive cause i got to give to kmf.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-1147476320658512932006-05-12T19:25:00.000-04:002006-05-12T19:25:00.000-04:00Karen is the bomb.

Simply because someone won an election once or was appointed for whatever reason, does that mean they're a judge for life?

He is none other than former County Court Judge Jeffrey Swartz.<BR/><BR/>Reyes has had a quick rise to power. He was a cop for five years before going to law school at Nova. He was an ASA from 1998-2002 when Gov Jeb appointed him to the County Court bench on March 26, 2002. 18 months later, Bush came calling again, this time appointing him to the Circuit Court. Is he soon headed to the 3rd DCA???<BR/><BR/>Swartz (that is the way he spells it) was a County Court Judge until 2004 when Ada Pozo Revilla convinced the voters of Dade County to vote looks over age by a margin of 121,595 to 110,445.<BR/><BR/>Many remember Judge Swartz as the one who would offer those charged with a Miami Beach excessive noise violation the choice of a $500 fine or listening to the opera La Traviata for 2 1/2 hours.<BR/><BR/>TARGET #4:<BR/><BR/>County Court Group 4:<BR/><BR/>IT'S THE ST.

He has been a Judge since 1996 ans was formerly an ASA.<BR/><BR/>Cecilia Armenteros (as she is listed with The Florida Bar and as she practices in her law firm; we do not know why she added the name Chavez to the end), is a 1993 graduate of St. Thomas Law School. She has been a member of The Florida Bar since 1994 and practices family law as an associate with the law firm of Buckner & Shifrin in Miami.<BR/><BR/>TARGET #4:<BR/><BR/>County Court Group 11:<BR/><BR/>As predicted by The Captain, Judge Karen Mills-Francis will be running for Judge this summer against candidate Stephen Millan.<BR/><BR/>Francis, a UF law school grad and former PD has been a County Court Judge since 2001.<BR/><BR/>Millan, was formerly a candidate in Group 30, but when that seat suddenly disappeared with the appointment of Judge Silver to the Circuit Court, Millan made the move to Group 11.
