The Florida Supreme Court issued a written reprimand Thursday to one retired Miami-Dade Circuit judge and four others on the bench over their endorsement of a nonprofit organization vying for a contract with the Florida Department of Children and Families worth about $500 million.

The ruling follows a finding from the Judicial Qualifications Commission that former Judge Cindy Lederman and current Miami-Dade Circuit Judges Marcia Caballero, Rosa Figarola, Teresa Pooler and Mavel Ruiz violated canons one, two and four of the Code of Judicial Conduct, which govern integrity, impartiality and “quasi-judicial activities.”
