Judge Louis H. Schiff and two judges from neighboring counties recently joined forces to teach an advanced judicial studies course on communications skills for judges. The course, “Improving Your Communications Skills,” offered tips for improving the way judges communicate with their judicial assistants and bailiffs and how they all communicate with everyone else they may encounter at the courthouse. Teaching alongside Judge Schiff were Judge Augustus D. Aikens Jr. from Leon County and Judge David L. Denkin from Sarasota County. The three have served as judges for a combined 76 years of service. All three judges are past presidents of the Conference of County Court Judges of Florida. An awe-inspiring summation of institutional knowledge.
