"JQC recommends public reprimand for appeal judge"

ADVERTISEMENTS
"JQC recommends public reprimand for appeal judge": Saturday's edition of The St. Petersburg Times contained an article that begins, "No Florida judge ever has been disciplined for something he wrote in a court opinion, but a divided Judicial Qualifications Commission panel Friday recommended a public reprimand for 1st District Court of Appeal Judge Michael E. Allen."

Saturday's edition of The Pensacola News Journal contained an article headlined "Board chides judge; Panel finds that Allen's criticism harmed judiciary."

And The Associated Press reports that "Panel Recommends Florida Judge Be Reprimanded; Appellate judge Michael Allen insinuated a judge was corrupt."

Last Friday, the Hearing Panel of Florida's Judicial Qualifications Commission submitted its Findings, Conclusions and Recommendations to the Supreme Court of Florida. And today, the Supreme Court of Florida issued this scheduling order governing further proceedings in the case.

I wrote about this case in the May 14, 2007 installment of my "On Appeal" column for law.com, headlined "When Should a Judge Face Discipline for What an Opinion Says?"
