Fifteen high school students from JP Taravella High School’s Police Academy visited the central courthouse to observe different courts in session and to tour the BSO Crime Lab. The program is designed for selected students who are interested in law enforcement and public safety and their visit was a result of their criminal law and the courts process studies.

Last week, many of the circuit’s newest judges met with more senior judges who volunteer to mentor those new to the bench. The judicial mentor program in the Seventeenth Circuit is led by Judge Greene.

On Friday, Judge Levenson had the pleasure of swearing his former intern, Tori Taravella, into the Bar.

Judge Diaz’s courtroom was at capacity last week as this summer’s law school interns gathered to hear from the Broward County Public Defender, Howard Finkelstein. Both the judge and the public defender offered many words of advice for the law students.
