Here's your winners and losers, judge-wise. Pretty much all of the administrative judges from the prior administration are O U T out. So much for competence, as opposed to political payback being the deciding factor.
Take a look at the new lineup, and if you are a long time and careful reader of the blog, what title immediately would catch Rumpole's eye? The answer is below.

SO....we cannot resist. There is a Chief "Problem Solving" Judge? Really? Because our well known view is that Judges are problems, and cause more than they solve (and this has nothing to do with the current "problem solver").
How does this work?
Hmm...I'm having a problem with solving Fermat's Last Theorem. What to do? Oh, wait! I know, I'll call the Problem Solving Judge.
Or is it like Dear Abby?
Dear Problem Solving Judge, I'm having a problem with my mother-in-law. She doesn't like my black beans and rice. But my husband tells me that I make better moros than his mother. My mother-in-law is now coming over every day to watch me make dinner. I can't think of anything to do other than cook a second dinner once she leaves. Also, I am having problems filing in probate. Can you help?

There is just so much here. Sometimes the blog-gods are just too generous to a humble blogger hacking away trying to post decent content. Days of draught and endless re-writes of posts trying to find something to say are rewarded when we learn there is a Chief Problem Solving Judge.
Look! In The Courtroom. It's Justice Roberts...It's Justice Cardozo, NO It's the PROBLEM SOLVING JUDGE
Yes, it's PROBLEM SOLVING JUDGE, strange visitor from another jurisdiction, who came to Miami with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal judges. PROBLEM SOLVING JUDGE, who can change the course of mighty rivers feeding the Everglades with an opinion, stop US steel from being sold with a simple injunction. And who, disguised as Clark Kent, mild-mannered Judge in a great metropolitan courthouse, fights a never-ending battle for truth, justice and no more continuances.

BTW we are not attacking the new administrative judges per se. For example, in the only division we care about, Lody Jean is a wonderful choice as administrative judge for Circuit Criminal.
SNAFU situation normal, all F'd up.
We're doomed.
It’s a MAGA coalition
Michael Barket is among the three dumbest judges on the bench. Circuit or County. He should obviously therefore be an administrative judge. Once upon a time these were respected positions held by the best of the bench.
So did Milt Hirsch get screwed? My understanding was the entire reason he voted for Fajardo (which was the decisive vote) was that Sayfie would not promise him the criminal admin judge slot and Fajardo did.
The position of problem solving judge is to oversee the problem solving courts - mental health, drug court, and veteran’s court, to name a few. There are also several problem solving courts outside of REG, including in DV and delinquency court.
Thanks for the correction, I’ll let Chief Fajardo know. It’s Problem Solving Courts Administrative Judge. Problem Solving Courts include our Mental Health Courts and Drug Courts and Veteran’s Court, which we have in Circuit Criminal, County Criminal, DV and Dependency. They are all being consolidated into one division. So many of our participants’ lives are transformed through our program. Instead of prison and jail, we offer rehabilitation and recovery. Those of you who do not understand what we do in PSC are welcome to visit our courtroom in 4-4. It might become your favorite division. I look forward to meeting you though I won’t be able to help you with your black bean recipe.
Lody Jean is a rockstar. Love her or hate her, she is fair. if you’re incompetent or cut edges in her courtroom, you are screwed. if she respects you, and knows that you are not going to represent some thing that is untrue, she will listen and follow the law.
Oh no judge please keep it as is. So much cooler. And thanks for your good natured reply. Keep up the good work. Respectfully, HR
