More than 30 supervisors from Court Administration took part this week in a full day of leadership training designed to strengthen essential supervisory skills. The program covered a wide range of topics, including team building, accountability, collaboration, coaching, mentoring, providing effective feedback, and navigating difficult conversations.

The session was led by Jennifer Currence, senior partner with HR Soul Consulting, and was titled “Leading with Influence & Impact: Essential Skills for Modern Leaders.”

Training like this is essential for developing effective, relatable leaders. Thank you to Court Administration for proactively supporting the leaders of tomorrow.

Students from Millennium 6-12 and Challenger Elementary spent an inspiring day at the Broward County Courthouse, diving into firsthand lessons about the justice system. The students participate in the 5000 Role Models mentoring program.

Their visit began in Judge Florence Taylor Barner’s courtroom, where they asked thoughtful questions about her work on the bench. They then visited Judge Elijah H. Williams in juvenile court to better understand what it means to be a youth in custody. They asked Judge Williams even more great questions.

The group continued to the Lamar Warren Law Library, where they met with Broward State Attorney Harold F. Pryor, learned about ballistics from a BSO Crime Lab scientist, and the role of a public defender from Community Outreach Coordinator Janelle Floyd.

The students were curious, engaged, and full of questions. They walked away with real-world insight into how the justice system works. Many thanks to all the public servants in the courthouse whose time and dedication made this tour so meaningful.
