This installment of the Daily Business Review’s coverage of South Florida candidates in the August primary election features a Q&A with candidates for Broward County Court judge, Group 9. Here’s what civil litigator Corey Amanda Cawthon, Assistant Public Defender Tanner Channing Demmery and family mediator and arbitrator Leonore M. Greller had to say about what qualifies them for the bench. Responses have been edited for style and content.


 Corey Amanda Cawthon

Cawthon grew up in Broward County and obtained her  bachelor’s and law degrees from Nova Southeastern University. While at NSU, Cawthon was a member of the honors and dual-admission programs, which allowed her to pursue her undergraduate and law school studies on an accelerated track and to graduate one year earlier than most in similar programs. Cawthon is a lifelong resident of Plantation, where she is also a member of the Plantation Junior Woman’s Club, which hosts a number of fundraising events for both the Make-A-Wish Foundation and local student scholarships.
