5 SUCCESSION OF JUSTICES OF SUPREME COURT OF FLORIDA
Compiled by Mary Agnes Thursby Revised by Jo Dowling & the Supreme Court Public Information Office Updated 6/8/2019
Under 1838 Constitution, Circuit Judges selected by the Legislature constituted the Supreme Court: Thomas Douglas Thomas Baltzell George S. Hawkins George W. Macrae Joseph B. Lancaster
Under 1838 Constitution as amended and under Chapter 371, Acts of 1850-51, separate Supreme Court Justices were selected by the Legislature: Walker Anderson Leslie A. Thompson Albert G. Semmes Benjamin D. Wright
In 1853 (under an amendment to the Constitution adopted in 1850 and 1853) the Justices were elected by the electors of the state for the first time: Thomas Baltzell Thomas Douglas Charles H. DuPont Bird M. Pearson
In 1859 DuPont defeated Baltzell as Chief Justice and Pearson did not run for re-election: Charles H. DuPont William A. Forward David Shelby Walker
Under 1865 Constitution, the Governor appointed the Justices: Charles H. DuPont Augustus E. Maxwell James M. Baker Samuel J. Douglas
From 1868 the succession to the seats on the Supreme Court has been continuous even though the method of selection of Justices has changed: Justices under the 1868 Constitution were appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate to serve "for life or during good behavior." The 1885 Constitution provided for the election in 1888 of the Justices, the Chief Justice to be designated by lot. In 1972 Article V of the 1968 Constitution was revised to provide for the election of the Chief Justice by the majority of the members of the Court. The 1968 Constitution was amended in 1976 to provide for one Justice from each appellate district. That amendment additionally provided for the merit selection of Justices with the Governor selecting the Justice from a list of three names forwarded to him by the appropriate Judicial Nominating Commission. The newly appointed Justice must stand for merit retention by the voters in the first general election following his appointment. In 1996, the Constitution was amended to provide that the Judicial Nominating Commission must submit a list of three to six names for the vacancy, and that the newly appointed Justice shall appear on the next general election ballot that is more than one year after the date of appointment.

* CURRENT JUSTICES IN BOLD
11 Breakdown of Current Justices by Residence at Time of Appointment
First District: Ricky Polston Second District: Peggy A. Quince, Charles T. Canady Third District: R. Fred Lewis Fourth District: Barbara J. Pariente, Jorge Labarga Fifth District: C. Alan Lawson
NOTE: The present Florida Constitution requires that, at any given time, at least one Justice must have been a resident of each of the five District Courts of Appeal at the time of appointment to the Court. Thus, at-large seats are determined solely by the composition of the Court when a vacancy is filled. Under the current Court composition, an at-large seat would be vacant if one Justice from the Second or Fourth District left the Court. This is because each of these districts currently has two representatives. If a Justice representing the other three districts left the Court, the vacancy could only be filled by a qualified person living within the boundaries of that district.
