Local judges impact our daily lives in many ways. That's why the election of judges is important. What’s the difference between Orange County judges and Ninth Judicial Circuit Court judges? And what are their positions on important issues?
The League of Women Voters of Orange County hosts a forum for contested Orange County judge races. “Bench Press: Candidates for Orange County Judge” will be held at the Winter Park Events Center on June 10. A forum for contested judge races for Ninth Judicial Circuit Court will take place on July 8.
County court judges have limited jurisdiction to hear cases such as traffic offenses, landlord-tenant disputes, small claims cases up to $8,000, misdemeanor criminal matters, violations of municipal and county ordinances, and monetary disputes up to $50,000, according to the website Florida Courts.
Doors open at 10:30 a.m. at the Winter Park Events Center for a buffet lunch. The discussion starts at 11:45 a.m. at 1050 W. Morse Blvd. in Winter Park and ends at 1 p.m. Tickets are $30 for League members, $37 non-members.
Hot Topics is streamed live on the League’s Facebook page Facebook and an edited version will be available on the League’s YouTube channel, League of Women Voters Orange County - YouTube.
