Friday, January 24, 2020, the Seventeenth Circuit, in conjunction with the Broward Bar Association, hosted its annual Judicial Procession and State of the Circuit address. Chief Judge Tuter talked about the year in review to the audience, taking time out to recognize some special honorees including two men who successfully completed Community Court and now have their lives back on track, and a staff member from our Self-Help Center’s 2-1-1 Broward agency who was credited with saving the life of a person in crisis who was on-site to seek help.
Additionally, the Broward County Bar Association presented Judge Carol-Lisa Phillips and Judge Dan Kanner with 2020 Friend of the Bar awards. Broward County Mayor Dale Holness also received the recognition.
