He had a very strong showing against someone who had money and lots of backing (for all the wrong reasons). Anyone who has something negative to say about Bloch has not practiced before him. If you don't like him, he probably just did not rule your way and/or made you work. He had done what is legally right, despite political pressures. You CANNOT say that for a large percentage of the judiciary. <br /><br />All the JNC has done now is empowered Hector Lombana - if he does not like you (for whatever reason), he will waste resources and time to bring you down. This was a chance by the JNC to go beyond politics, but I guess it's cynical to think this is anything but. <br /><br />Sad dayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-3226479520580199362016-10-29T14:30:45.547-04:002016-10-29T14:30:45.547-04:00All losers....All losers....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-67296006371746875682016-10-29T14:28:33.772-04:002016-10-29T14:28:33.772-04:00U.S. marshala tackle and taze an attorney who yell...U.S. marshala tackle and taze an attorney who yelled at a federal judge to release from custody a client that had been acquitted but had a hold for pending charges in another state.

All of them are fine trial and smart trial judges. Better than 90% of our white and Hispanic judges. Judge Hanzman is #1. Bagley is kind of an odd bird, very opinioned and not afraid to call out lawyers. But he usually makes the right decision and is pretty smart, though a little arrogant but better than most.

On the bench, he was all class, a real gentleman, and showed respect for all that appeared before him.<br /><br />Here is the obit from the Herald:<br /><br />Judge Philip Cook passed away on October 25 at age 91. While he built his life in Miami, he was born in New York. In 1945 while serving in the U.S. army, Phil helped liberate Mauthausen, a Nazi concentration camp. In 1950, he married Florence, and together they had three children: Jill (Gary and children Jacki, Rocky and Kira), Vicki (Michael and children Samantha and Zachary) and Michael (Lorena and children Gabby and Noah). Phil attended UM law school and practiced for 30 years, then served as a judge for another 30 as one of the Miami law community's favorites. Services will be held at Mount Nebo Memorial Gardens on Thursday, 10/27 at 3:30 p.m.<br />CAPTAIN JUSTICEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12179932096244679236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-64906580857805753632016-10-27T14:56:24.063-04:002016-10-27T14:56:24.063-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.CAPTAIN JUSTICEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12179932096244679236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-19506315263479341592016-10-27T11:48:36.838-04:002016-10-27T11:48:36.838-04:00Real PD says

I did know that she is black so that was an error on my part.<br /><br />I certainly agree that all involved in the process could do a better job with appointing blacks to the bench. I have attended several forums and seminars that discussed the cause. And, as I pointed out, they start at the level of black attorneys need to apply for the openings, JNC's need to send black candidates up to the Governor and then the Governor needs to appoint qualified black attorneys to the bench.<br /><br />There are ten black judges on the bench in Miami-Dade County:<br /><br />Bagley, Hendon, Smith, Thomas, Prescott, and Trawick in Circuit. Graham, Thomas, Seraphin, and Brinkley in County. <br /><br />Here is the latest study published by the Bar:<br /><br />http://www.floridabar.org/DIVCOM/JN/jnnews01.nsf/8c9f13012b96736985256aa900624829/ca7d67fe80c1938585257e7a0045f0bb!OpenDocument<br /><br />“Miami-Dade is one of the most diverse counties in the state of Florida. Yet there are no black women who serve on the circuit court bench for the 11th Judicial Circuit in and for Miami-Dade County and only two black women who serve the Miami-Dade county bench,” the press release said. “Of the 123 judges who serve Miami’s circuit and county benches, only 10 (8 percent) are black, while over 500,000 (19 percent) of Miami-Dade’s overall population consists of individuals who identify as black or African-American. In Broward County, the most diverse county in the state, of the 90 judges in circuit and county courts, only 6 (7 percent) are black. In Palm Beach County, of the 54 judges in circuit and county courts, 5 (9 percent) are black.”<br /><br />What the study does not say is that the total number of black attorneys in the State is something like 3%; (I couldn't find the most up to date numbers).<br /><br />One of the two black justices on the Florida Supreme Court, James Perry, is retiring in December. It will be interesting to see who the Governor names to that opening. With nearly every important vote on the court currently running 5-2 against Scott's positions, no doubt the new justice will be in the mold of Canady and Polston. I doubt he will find anyone that conservative that is also black. That leaves Peggy Quince as the lone black justice and she is scheduled to retire in two years.<br /><br />Cap Out .....<br /><br />CAPTAIN JUSTICEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12179932096244679236noreply@blogger.com
