Five Florida Supreme Court justices and 28 appellate court judges are set to face voters, who will determine on the Nov. 8 general election—on the merit retention portion of the ballot—whether these jurists should continue to don the black robe.
Until then, the Florida Bar asked its members for their thoughts in a confidential poll. Their recommendations for retention ranged from 86%, which included Fourth District Court of Appeal Judge Robert M. Gross, to 59% for state Supreme Court Justice Jamie Grosshans.
