Justice Couriel draws inspiration from legacy of service at Impact Award celebration
Justice John Couriel: ‘“I tell young lawyers that many of the things that come wrapped up as victories in life may ultimately be defeats, in the sense that they are empty. And many of the things that come wrapped up as defeats are in fact great victories, if only they have the good sense to metabolize them, and to learn from those defeats what to do differently in the future and what to appreciate about the world around them.
Florida Supreme Court Justice John Couriel praised dozens of business and community leaders for their public service at an “Impact Award” ceremony Tuesday night in Tallahassee.
“I just want you to know that our court is populated by people who you will probably not always agree with, but very much value your service,” Couriel said.
