Speaker's
Bureau
In
its continuing efforts to "bridge the gap" between the Court
and the citizens of Miami-Dade County, the Eleventh Judicial
Circuit of Florida has created a Speaker's Bureau which utilizes
community outreach and education to increase the public's
access to the judicial system. Judges and court management
from all divisions – Civil, Criminal, Family, Juvenile, Probate,
Domestic Violence and Traffic – have volunteered to share
their experience and expertise with a variety of groups and
organizations throughout the community. Their ultimate goal:
to promote trust and confidence in the Court through greater
knowledge and understanding of our system of justice.
