 Shout out to Judges Florence Taylor Barner and Jackie Powell for their community outreach! Judge Barner served as a panelist at Gateway Church’s inaugural community forum on housing on April 5th to help educate residents about important housing issues that could impact their lives. The event was hosted in part by Judge Jackie Powell – who attends the church – to better educate the community on all aforementioned matters. Judge Barner discussed our Community Court and explained the eviction process and how to address small claims to a group of 100 seniors and Fort Lauderdale residents.  Thank you for all you do!

A group of students from Yeshiva Middle School recently visited the courthouse where they spent time with Circuit Court Judge Jeffery R. Levenson learning first hand about law and order. The students heard about courtroom procedures, met courtroom personnel and posed for lots of pictures. Thank you Judge Levenson for taking some much time to “teach.”
