Our very own Judge Lauren M. Alperstein and Magistrate Stephanie Matalon took part in a continuing legal education panel today via Zoom, speaking on the importance of civility in and out of the courtroom.
From maintaining professionalism with opposing counsel and self-represented litigants to navigating challenges under the Florida Rules of Professional Conduct and the Bounds of Advocacy, the panel offered invaluable insights from the judiciary’s perspective.
We’re proud to see two of our own from the 17th Judicial Circuit leading the way on such an essential topic—reminding us all that civility is at the heart of effective advocacy and the fair administration of justice. ⚖️✨
