VOLUNTARY DISCLOSURE FORM GIVES PUBLIC A NEW WAY TO LEARN ABOUT JUDICIAL CANDIDATES

When voters choose judges, they are selecting the people who will preside over
business disputes and personal family matters that wind up in court as well as
criminal trials. But frequently voters make decisions about who to vote for with only
limited knowledge about candidates, who are constrained by law in what they can
say in campaigns.

This year, however, with 59 judicial races on the ballot across the state, voters have
a new means of learning about judicial candidates – The Florida Bar Judicial
Candidate Voluntary Self-Disclosure Statement. Beginning July 19, these statements,
which contain information about candidates’ backgrounds as well as personal
statements, can be found on The Florida Bar website at
http://www.floridabar.org/judicialcandidates

Biographical information includes education, work history and community
involvement. Additionally, candidates were asked to include 100-word personal
statements explaining why they believe they would serve the public well as judges.
The statements were recommended by the Bar’s Citizens Forum advisory group to
help further inform voters.

As with other judicial candidate communications, the self-disclosure statements are
governed by Canon 7 of the Code of Judicial Conduct, which bars candidates from
making statements that appear to commit them on legal issues likely to come before
them in court. Before posting information online with The Florida Bar, candidates had
to attest to the accuracy of the information they provided. To be posted, statements
had to be received by The Florida Bar by July 16.

In total, 70 candidates responded in 59 races, for a 47 percent participation rate. In
the 32 circuit court races, at least one candidate responded in 29 races. In the 27
county court races, at least one candidate responded in 19 races.
The Florida Bar supports maintaining a high quality judiciary and is committed to
educating the public on the legal system. To that end, the Bar’s Judicial
Administration and Evaluation Committee developed the voluntary self-disclosure
statement. It was approved by The Florida Bar Board of Governors for
implementation in 2010.

Additional information about judicial campaigns can be found on The Florida Bar
website.

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??

If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets.  It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists. 

You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
