Navigation Quince honored with Selig I. Goldin Memorial Award
Justice Peggy Quince: ‘I just ask all of you to remember that whether our client is guilty or not, we owe it to our profession to abide by all the rules and standards in our representation, and we do all that we can to make sure that our system functions in a way that protects and defends all of the citizens of this state.’
Retired Supreme Court Chief Justice Peggy A. Quince, the first Black woman to head any branch of Florida government, is the latest recipient of the Selig I. Goldin Memorial Award, the Criminal Law Section’s highest honor.
Declaring herself a proud section member since 1980, the Virginia native and death penalty expert was honored June 27 at a luncheon ceremony in a Boca Raton ballroom at the Annual Florida Bar Convention packed with family and friends.
