Judge Kevin Emas is the new chief judge of Florida’s Third District Court of Appeal.
Emas’ colleagues unanimously elected him to the position during a vote held Thursday. He will succeed outgoing Chief Judge Barbara Lagoa. Lagoa, along with Judge Robert Luck, have been appointed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to the Florida Supreme Court. Their departures add to the string of vacancies in Florida courts, following the resignations of Third DCA Chief Judge Leslie Rothenberg and Judge Richard Suarez.
