The Florida Supreme Court has ordered 17th Circuit Judge Stefanie C. Moon to be suspended, fined, and to appear before the court for a public reprimand for violations involving inappropriate campaign activity, prohibited ex parte communication, and prohibited political contributions.

The court acted unanimously July 17 in Case No. SC2025-0071.

“Our Court does not often come upon a judicial discipline case in which a single judge has violated the Code of Judicial Conduct in such distinct ways in wholly unrelated incidents,” the court said. “Judge Moon’s conduct is unacceptable especially given that the [Judicial Qualifications] Commission had already cautioned her in 2019 for improper campaign activities. Nonetheless the Commission’s recommended discipline in this matter credits Judge Moon for cooperation, remorse, and acceptance of responsibility.”
