Big news! Circuit Court Judge Jose Izquierdo and County Court Judge Steven P. DeLuca have both been elected to serve on the Florida Judicial Qualifications Commission (FJQC). Judge Izquierdo was elected to the position by the Florida Conference of Circuit Judges this week and Judge DeLuca was elected to the position by the Florida Conference of County Judges earlier this summer. The FJQC is an independent agency charged with investigating allegations of judicial misconduct and disability against Florida state judges. The Chair of the Commission selects nine members to serve on the Investigative Panel and six members to serve on the Hearing Panel. Judge DeLuca previously served a six-year term on the FJQC after being elected in 2016. Congratulations to both Judge DeLuca and Judge Izquierdo for this impressive accomplishment!
