Michael Chionopoulos - Florida’s courts

Michael E. Chionopoulos
Florida’s courts have made great advances in the use of technology to improve and enhance the efficiency, effectiveness and timeliness of those processes which are critical to the management of information technologies. Opportunities created by emerging technologies have provided the impetus for the judiciary to meet the multitude of challenges faced by our court system. Through the integration of state-of-the-art technologies, Florida’s court system is recognized as one of the leaders in the country. The judicial branch is committed to improving the administration of justice, enhancing public access and service, and building public trust and confidence.

Oversight of judges - Michael Chionopoulos. Federal judges in the United States (except those who have recess appointments) serve life terms for their period of "good behavior." Once appointed, state judges in the United States usually serve terms for a fixed period of years, although in some states (e.g., Massachusetts) the appointment is for life, often subject to mandatory retirement at some fixed age. In those states where the appointment is not for life, judges must, after their initial term, be re-elected, face a retention election, or face reappointment by an appropriate authority. The law governing judicial elections in the United States is in flux with the general tendency being to discard historical limitations on the ability of a judge to campaign based upon judicial philosophy.

Most judicial systems in the United States have procedures for investigating breaches of judicial ethics and disability. Lapses of judicial ethics include matters such as taking bribes, open defiance of a binding court order, ruling upon a case in which the judge has a personal interest, failure to account for court funds, failure to conduct court proceedings with a suitably judicial demeanor, harassment of judicial employees or a judge's conviction of a serious offense unrelated to judicial service. Disability complaints often involve allegations that a judge is beginning to show symptoms of alcoholism, dementia or an inability to stay awake.

Michael E. Chionopoulos judge: All judges must sign a judicial oath which is a fiduciary undertaking or a promise of duty of care. Yet the moment it is signed, the judge is protected with judicial immunity which prevents anyone from testing the obligation the judge undertook in the oath. Arguments against the judicial immunity say this law is allowing judges a special method of escape for claims for breach of fiduciary duty which is something no other fiduciary apart from politicians can obtain.

In an effort to keep pace with this rapidly evolving field, the Supreme Court of Florida has a committee on mediation (ADR Policy and Rules), a mediator grievance board (Mediator Qualifications Board), a grievance board for certified training programs (Mediation Training Review Board), and an ethics advisory committee (Mediator Ethics Advisory Committee).

In 1992, the Supreme Court Committee on Mediation and Arbitration Training (predecessor to the ADR Policy Committee) undertook a comprehensive review of the mediation training standards which were initially adopted by the chief justice in 1989. With the assistance of subject matter experts and input from trainers and trainees, the committee revised the training program standards. The proposed standards were approved by the court and became effective as of April 1, 1996, pursuant to Chief Justice Stephen H. Grimes administrative order.

Former Michael E Chionopoulos judge: Must I respond to my jury duty notice? Yes, it is legally required, and there are penalties for noncompliance. Jurors perform a vital role in the American system of justice. Jury service is an important civic function that supports one of the fundamental rights of citizens - the right to have their cases decided by a jury of their peers.

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) has been utilized by the Florida Court System to resolve disputes for over 25 years, starting with the creation of the first citizen dispute settlement (CDS) center in Dade County in 1975. Since that time, the uses of mediation and arbitration have grown as the Legislature and judiciary have created one of the most comprehensive court-connected mediation programs in the country.

The DRC has a video about mediation available for purchase. Mediation Works introduces people in conflict to the mediation process. Through mediation, participants remain the primary decision-makers for their own lives instead of relying on the courts for resolution. If you are interested in ordering a video or DVD about the mediation process, please see our order form.
