The American Board of Trial Associates (ABOTA) Fort Lauderdale honored the lengthy judicial career of outgoing Chief Judge Jack Tuter on Thursday with an after-hours celebration at Livia Bar & Grill in Fort Lauderdale. Judges, lawyers and lots of other well-wishers stopped by to wish Judge Tuter good luck in his next chapter. ABOTA members presented Judge Tuter with an honorary insulated cup, joking that he probably already had boxes of awards and plaques from his years as a judge. “He is the kind of guy who runs toward complex problems, instead of away,” noted ABOTA member Mitchell A. Chester. Judge Tuter, you will be greatly missed!
