On Monday, October 29, 2018, the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit officially opened its new Nursing Mothers room in the central courthouse in downtown Fort Lauderdale. The room, #12106 on the 12th floor, will serve both employees and visitors of the courthouse who need to nurse. A key for the room can be signed out in Court Administration’s Human Resources office, #20140.
Creating the space was a collaborative effort between the Broward County Women Lawyers’ Association (BCWLA), Court Administration, Judge Ross, Judge Miranda, Chief Judge Jack Tuter, and the Broward County Commission. The furniture was generously donated by 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,” said Judge Stacy Ross.
