Pando is the most unethical Judge. even during the election she violated the rules. So before you start jumping to conclusions and talking shit get to know the facts and the person. Judge Pando is under serious investigations for activities which could land her in jail. She is lucky she lost. If she is lucky the JQC let's it go, if she pushes it she is looking a disbarment and a major criminal investigation.

I have known Robert coppel since I was a pd in the late 80s he is highly qualified, intelligent , talented trial lawyer and a gentleman . That being said when voters decide a contest they don't necessarily pick the person experts feel is most qualified for the spot. This is true on American idol, wet t-shirt contests, when that moron Bush beat Gore, and in Miami dade elections. Voters decide based on .... Who the fuck knows ? Mentally retarded people are legally allowed to vote; as are the insane. The best we can hope for is that all candidates are qualified so the voting public can't fuck it up too badly.

JUDGE FLEUR LOBREE & JUD...<br />THE CAPTAIN REPORTS:<br /><br />JUDGE FLEUR LOBREE & JUDGE KEVIN EMAS .....<br /><br />Judge Lobree suffered from the same defect has Judge Emas.<br /><br />My history may be slightly off, but I believe that Kevin Emas had been appointed by Governor Chiles as aa County Court Judge in 1996.<br /><br />In 1996 he had to run for his first time to secure a full term. He drew a challenger. Michael Samuels.<br /><br />Emas is a very unusual name and the voters could not figure it out. <br /><br />The results of that race were staggering:<br /><br />COUNTY COURT JUDGE GROUP 14<br /><br />Kevin M. Emas 62,563 40.74%<br /><br />Michael J. Samuels 91,015 59.26%<br /><br />Judge Lobree interviewed before the JNC in the Spring of 2011 and was immediately sent to Governor Scott. She was appointed and has been on the bench for just over one year. She is extremely bright. She handled appellate issues while working for KFR.<br /><br />Hopefully, she will dust off and get back up on her feet, make an appointment to speak with now 3rd DCA Judge Kevin Emas and set a new course and direction for her career. One that may ultimately include a new run for office.<br /><br />Emas did that in 1998 and was elected. Three years later he was elevated to the Circuit Court bench. And nine years after that he was elevated to the 3rd DCA.<br /><br />Good luck to Judge Lobree in all her future endeavors.<br /><br />Cap Out ....<br />CAPTAIN JUSTICEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12179932096244679236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-82029467623210575022012-08-15T16:02:56.292-04:002012-08-15T16:02:56.292-04:00Almost 6000 page views in the last 24 hours.

By all accounts Judge Lobree deserved to be re-elected, and while I hardly believe I had anything to do with her loss, I regret what I wrote and should have remained silent. The only thing that can account for that drubbing- and there is no other way to view the results but a complete drubbing- is that Judge Lobree's name sounds strange to many people in Miami. And isn't that a shame, that a person can be very intelligent, a dedicated public servant, but can't win an election because of something they can't control- their name? It is sad and I was trying to convey that.

These are jurists we should fight to keep. No matter what our stake in the matter, we know our client will be afforded a fair shake, win or lose. We as attorneys and others involved in the legal profession need to do a better job of educating our friends, family, colleagues and clients as to the kind of person we want presiding over legal cases in our County. Unless and until a layperson has an issue before the Court, they do not realize the impact a good or poor jurist can have on their lives and their community. Do we want political figures who cherrypick a race without a hispanic name, hoping for a large African American turnout in November? Do we want struggling criminal defense attorneys looking for a pay raise, steady paycheck or better hours? Or do we want smart, committed judges who will work hard and take their service to the community seriously? Well let's all take a good luck at the results last night and work to do better next time.
