Judge Rosemary Barkett

Wryly recounting her decades of service as a Catholic nun, teacher, lawyer, and judge, former Florida Supreme Court Chief Justice Rosemary Barkett delivered a poignant, and sometimes pointed, June 11 keynote address to the 50-Year member/senior counselors award luncheon.

“I know so much of what many of you have done to make our world a better place and I think that our Bar — our profession — owes you a debt of gratitude for the examples many of you have set, for the unselfishness you have shown in working for others,” she said.
