THE ELEVENTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT OF FLORIDA
REGRETFULLY ANNOUNCES THE PASSING OF
COUNTY COURT JUDGE SHELLEY J. KRAVITZ
[**UPDATED**]
It is with deep regret and profound sadness that the Eleventh Judicial Circuit of Florida announces the passing of County Court Judge Shelley J. Kravitz.
Throughout her 25 years on the County Court Bench, Judge Kravitz served in the Domestic Violence and Criminal Divisions, and most recently in the Civil Division.
In addition to her work on the Bench, Judge Kravitz contributed to the legal community through the Conference of County Court Judges, where she served as past president and legislative chair for 15 years. She received the Harvey Ford Award, the highest honor bestowed by the Conference. Judge Kravitz also served as past president of the Miami-Dade Chapter of the Florida Association for Women Lawyers.
“Judge Kravitz was not only a dedicated judge but a very caring person who devoted her time to this community and to the legal profession through her many years on the Miami-Dade County Canvassing Board and her extensive contributions to the Conference of County Court judges. Prior to becoming an attorney and judge, she was a school teacher and she continued to show her love for children by being involved in the court’s educational activities for visiting school groups. She will be greatly missed by all of us here,” said the Honorable Bertila Soto, Chief Judge of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit.
A Celebration of Life service will take place on Saturday, Jan. 13th, as follows:
