Navigation Statewide meeting tackles issues facing Florida’s local professionalism panels
Should a judge participate in a local professionalism panel’s informal, “peer-to-peer mentoring?” Should LPPs accept referrals from federal courts? How should they maintain records of a confidential process?
Those are just some questions that the chairs of Florida’s 20 local professionalism panels, or their designees, discussed Monday in a first statewide mandatory meeting.
“Right now, you’re all making something big happen that never happened before,” said former Florida Bar President Gary Lesser, a West Palm Beach attorney. “You’re making the way professionalism works in Florida better.”
