05:10 AM EST Share Chief judges in the state’s three districts participate in a videoconference discussing the response to COVID-19.
While each of the three U.S. District Courts in Florida is handling the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic independently, there’s a common theme for how the federal judiciary is conducting business.
“The wheels of justice are turning. Attorneys and judges are working as hard as ever,” said Melissa Visconte, chair of The Florida Bar Federal Court Practice Committee, at a Feb. 11 videoconference with the chief judges in each district.
Visconte, along with committee Vice Chair Anitra Raiford, moderated the discussion with Chief Judge of the Northern District Kent Wetherell, Chief Judge of the Middle District Timothy Corrigan and Chief Judge of the Southern District Michael Moore.
