On Monday, October 29, 2018, the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, in partnership with the Broward County Women Lawyers’ Association and the Broward County Commission, will host a Pink Ribbon Cutting Ceremony to mark the grand opening of the lactation room at the Broward County Courthouse in downtown Fort Lauderdale. Chief Judge Jack Tuter and BCWLA President, Madeleine Mannello, Esq., will host the ceremony at 3:00 p.m. in Room #12106 of the Broward County Court House’s West Tower. After the ribbon cutting, guests will be invited to visit the room, made possible by a generous donation from City Furniture.
“The 17th Circuit is proud to accommodate nursing mothers by providing a private and comfortable room to freely pump or nurse while in the courthouse,” says Judge Stacy Ross.
