Deadline extended to apply for all 26 JNCs
The Florida Bar has the opportunity to nominate six lawyers for each of the state's 26 judicial nominating commissions to the governor for appointment.
Each appointee will serve a four-year term, commencing July 1. Applicants must be members of The Florida Bar engaged in the practice of law and a resident of the territorial jurisdiction served by the JNC to which the member is applying. Commissioners are not eligible for state judicial office for vacancies filled by the JNC on which they sit for two years following completion of their term.
Applications must be submitted no later than 5:30 p.m., Thursday, March 24. Resumes will not be accepted in lieu of an application.
Screening committees of the Board of Governors will review all JNC applications. The Executive Committee will then make recommendations to the Board of Governors.
