THURSDAY NOTES
1.) Proud Papa - Howard Forman enjoying the massive turnout of lawyers and their assistants earlier today, during the training session in anticipation of Circuit Civil's eFiling debut this Monday; 2.) It's true! - Lisa Von Tefs is outta here, but she won't make any personal announcements until things are straight in Tallahassee (photographer unknown).
"Gush, gush" - that's the Fourth DCA going out of it's way to praise David Haimes in this recent opinion, citing his "well-reasoned analysis" in separate opinions concerning no bond holds on life felonies for juveniles in the wake of Graham v. Florida. Overtures like this, coupled with Haimes' strong connections to the Federal judiciary, add up to a very bright future indeed. The Fourth also released this interesting opinion Wednesday, directing the SAO to keep its mitts off Federal air space.
Katie makes it official - no surprises here, but it's always nice when someone follows through with ambitious plans. Click here to see Katie McHugh's official filing for County Court, joining the crowded field hoping to replace Fred Berman. Good luck!
To be continued - Eddie Sanchez's arbitration hearing with BSO began Tuesday, and continues March 1st. We'll be sure to get all the details soon ...

A Little Walt Disney, The Sequel - Rhea Grossman and SPU are set to square off again over the second Walt Disney Hollywood cop, Joel Francisco, on April 16th. Rumor has it Francisco rejected an offer matching Dewey Pressley's decertifying misdemeanor verdicts and judicially sponsored Adjudications with ninety days in jail, setting the scene for a second trial before Mike Robinson in April.
Courthouse Appreciation Day is coming! - it turns out there is such a thing as a free lunch after all. Inspired by the Broward Bar Association's (BBA) boorishness, Anonymous has greenlit funds for a menu of hot dogs, hamburgers, french fries, drinks, cookies, and brownies. It may not be the kind of fare kings and think they're kings prefer, but the everyday chow ensures an absolutely FREE meal for 150 people, in appreciation of their hard work and daily struggle. Also inspired by the brutes at the BBA, care has been taken to ensure the cafe will remain open for business as usual after the 150 freebies are gone, in case anybody else still needs lunch. Anonymous has also reconsidered the Judges Not Welcome policy, so long as jurists are willing to be judged on an individual basis by the assembled hungry masses. Judges wishing entry will be announced, and those garnering cheers will get in, and those getting booed won't. The date will post as soon as it's finalized and paid for ...

Judge Zeller would be easy to beat. No money after trying to raise $ for over a year. Terrible judge and lawyers cannot stand her.
