U.S. Senior District Judge Patricia A. Seitz
Two Miami judges and three other lawyers were recognized Monday with Florida Bar awards for pro bono service.
Judge Vance E. Salter
U.S. Senior District Judge Patricia Seitz and Third District Court of Appeal Judge Vance Salter won the two statewide awards for judges.
Seitz, who took senior status in 2012, leads three pro bono projects: Florida Pro Bono Matters, which matches lawyers with pro bono cases; CARE Court, which helps prisoners re-enter the community; and the Federal Bar Association’s Pro Bono Week. She was the first woman president of the Florida Bar, and she worked to promote understanding of the new pro bono service rule during her 1993 term.
