Judges and magistrates from the 17th Judicial Circuit—joined by a large contingent of attorneys and community partners—came together to celebrate the Circuit’s Black judiciary during a Black History Month event on Feb. 5th at Nova Southeastern University’s Shepard Broad College of Law in Davie.
The program featured powerful remarks from Chief Judge Carol-Lisa Phillips, Florida Bar President Rosalyn Sia Baker-Barnes, and Broward Bar Association Executive Director Braulio Rosa. The celebration concluded on a high note with a spirited round of Judicial Jeopardy, as judges competed for top honors and bragging rights.
The event highlighted the profound contributions of our Black judges and the strength, leadership, and perspective they bring to our judiciary.
