Navigation Supreme Court suspends Seminole County judge
The Florida Supreme Court has ordered Seminole County Judge Wayne Culver to be suspended without pay for 60 days and be publicly reprimanded for “engaging in abusive and intemperate conduct during two separate court proceedings.”
The court said it also expects Culver to continue to seek necessary mental health counseling and anger and stress management treatment, although it did not order him to do so.
Acting November 27 in Case No. SC2022-0846, the court accepted the Judicial Qualifications Commission finding that Judge Culver violated Canons 1, 2, 3B(2), 3B(4), and 3B(7) of the Code of Judicial Conduct, that together require judges to conduct themselves with integrity; to be patient, dignified, and courteous toward others in official settings; and to be faithful to and maintain professional competence in the law.
