Miami-Dade County Court Judges Wendell Graham and Gina Beovides are at opposing ends of their careers.

Graham, a criminal court judge who was appointed by Former Gov. Lawton Chiles in 1994, is retiring from the judiciary Aug. 31. By the time he steps down, he will have served on the circuit bench for nearly a quarter of a century and accrued nearly four decades’ worth of legal experience.
