SENIOR JUDGE MARTIN SHAPIRO HAS PASSED AWAY .......
THE CAPTAIN REPORTS:
SAD NEWS .....
Senior Judge Martin Shapiro has passed away.
Judge Shapiro was a Double Gator. A Miami Beach High School graduate, Shapiro received his undergraduate degree from UF in 1958 and his JD in 1961. He then practiced primarily real estate law for the next 39 years.
Judge Shapiro served as a Commissioner for the Town of Bay Harbor Islands from 1979-1985. In 1985 he was elected Mayor and he served four years in that position. In 1989, he moved to Miami Beach and he immediately ran for office and was elected as a Commissioner in Miami Beach in 1989. He went on to serve five terms until 1999.
Judge Shapiro was elected to the bench in 2000 when he defeated Nancy Pollack by 364 votes (out of 170,000 ballots cast) in one of the closest judicial elections in Miami-Dade County history. He retired from the bench at the completion of his term in 2006 and he has been serving as a Senior Judge ever since his retirement.
