  • Florida's Supreme Court Justicew
    FLORIDA’S SUPREME COURT JUSTICES Charles T. Canady Chief Justice Justice Canady was appointed to the Florida Supreme Court in August 2008. He served as chief justice from 2010 – 2012 and, since July 1, 2018, has been serving as chief for a second time. Born in Lakeland, Florida, Justice Canady has the unusual distinction of having served in all three branches of government. Returning to Lakeland after receiving his BA from Haverford College and his JD from Yale Law School, he went into private practice, concentrating on real estate law. In 1984, he successfully ran for a seat in the Florida House and served for three terms. Then in 1993, he was elected to the US House, serving until 2001. Throughout his tenure in Congress, he was a member of the House Judiciary Committee, which sparked his interest in appellate work; he chaired the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution from 1995 to 2001. After leaving Washington, DC, he returned to Florida and settled in Tallahassee, where he served as the governor’s general counsel. In 2002, he was appointed to the Second District Court of Appeal, where he remained until his appointment to the Florida Supreme Court. Justice Canady and his wife, Jennifer Houghton, have two children. Ricky Polston Justice Justice Polston was appointed to the Florida Supreme Court in October 2008, and he served as chief justice from 2012 – 2014. A native of Graceville, Florida, Justice Polston grew up on a farm that raised peanuts, watermelon, and cattle. He began his professional life as a certified public accountant: he received his BS in accounting from Florida State University in 1977 and developed a thriving career (in fact, he is still a licensed CPA).

  • July 2021 Historical Society of the D.C
    Newsletter #48 - July 2021 Historical Society of the D.C. Circuit - www.dcchs.org How Linda Ferren Brought Then-Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg's Vision of the Society to Life Linda Ferren, after 30 years of exemplary service as Executive Director of the Historical Society, retired March 31, 2021. Today’s Society is a monument to Linda’s creativity and drive. In 1990, Linda, then-Circuit Executive, received a call from then-Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Judge Ginsburg invited Linda to come to her chambers to discuss an idea – the creation of a historical society for the D.C. Circuit Courts. In particular, Judge Ginsburg wished to facilitate the writing of a history of these Courts. Responding to the request, Linda brought together judicial and bar leaders to establish the Society in 1990. Primary among the Society’s early accomplishments was the publication of Jeffrey Morris’ History of the Courts of the DC Circuit published in 2001. Linda’s vision for the Society went well beyond the book. She brought the Oral History Project into being in 1991 and has managed it ever since. The archive available on the Society’s website now includes 110 lifetime histories of judges, lawyers and court staff. Fifty-two additional histories are in progress. Linda has had a hand in every new activity the Society has undertaken, from the annual Mock Court for DC high schoolers now in its 16th year to the Judge Patricia Wald Programs on Life and Law in the Courts of the DC Circuit. When websites were still considered the domain of spiders, Linda led the Society to create one and publish its work product there.

La Sala de lo Constitucional de la Corte Suprema de Justicia (CSJ) publicó la respuesta a la nota que el presidente Nayib Bukele envió hace tres días pidiendo que se le "devuelva sus facultades que expresamente le da la ley y que se le ha quitado vía sentencias". La Sala menciona que dicho escrito contiene, entre otras cosas, "una interpretación particular" de artículos del Código de Salud y de la Ley de Protección Civil, Prevención y Mitigación de Desastres que no han sido declarados inconstitucionales. "En respuesta a su petición, esta Sala le aclara: en primer lugar, que en el sistema constitucional salvadoreño vigente desde 1983 y de acuerdo con la jurisprudencia constante de este Tribunal, el Órgano Ejecutivo nunca ha tenido facultades para limitar por sí mismo los derechos fundamentales de las personas. La reserva de ley formal para restringir derechos de las personas, es decir, la exigencia de una ley aprobada por la Asamblea Legislativa y sancionada por la Presidencia de la República, es una premisa básica y fundamental que no puede soslayarse. En consecuencia, esta Sala no puede "devolver" una atribución que el Órgano Ejecutivo nunca ha tenido en la Constitución vigente", se lee en el documento de ocho páginas dirigido a Bukele.

  • Market Week: July 20, 2020 the Markets (As of Market Close July 17, 2020) Stocks Surged Early Last Monday Only to Fall Back by the End of the Day
    Bob Grillo, CFP®, AIF® 115 East Putnam Ave. 3rd Floor Greenwich, CT 06830 203-622-4990 [email protected] www.tempusadvisors.com Market Week: July 20, 2020 The Markets (as of market close July 17, 2020) Stocks surged early last Monday only to fall back by the end of the day. Earlier in the day, the S&P 500 reached its highest level since the COVID-19 pandemic sent equities reeling. The Nasdaq hit another record high in early trading. Unfortunately, stocks couldn't hold their values as states hard-hit by growing numbers of reported virus cases began to rein in reopening measures. European stocks climbed last Monday as did Treasury bond yields. Crude oil prices dipped ahead of an OPEC meeting that could result in plans to ease production cuts. Equities rebounded last Tuesday as the Dow rose 2.1%, the S&P 500 climbed 1.3%, the Nasdaq advanced 0.9%, and the Russell 2000 gained 1.76%. Treasury yields slid 3.91% while crude oil prices jumped 0.85%. Market sectors advancing last Tuesday included energy, materials, industrials, and consumer staples. Optimism about progress on a COVID-19 vaccine spurred investors last Wednesday. By the end of the day, the Russell 2000 jumped 3.5%, followed by the Global Dow, which advanced 1.3%. The S&P 500 gained 0.9%, the Dow increased 0.85%, and the Nasdaq rose 0.6%. Crude oil and Treasury yields grew while the dollar fell. Banks led financial stocks higher, and energy stocks also climbed. A drop in technology shares pulled stocks lower last Thursday, ending a two-day rally.
