PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE As I reach the mid-year point of my presidency, I, along with our board of directors, continue to work tirelessly to ensure that we continue to fulfill our organization’s mission and that I am on track to fulfilling many of the goals I spoke about at the Installation Gala.

CABA has hosted some exceptional events this past quarter. We had our Inaugural “Lawyers on the Run” 5k on June 2nd, where thanks to approximately over 400 runners/walkers and many generous sponsors, we raised over $13,000 for CABA’s Pro Bono Project – a project at the core of CABA’s mission. We are already looking forward to next year’s event. We also hosted our annual Corporate Counsel Seminar & Networking Event in Key West from June 7th through June 9th. The three-day conference took place at the amazing San Carlos Institute, the site where José Marti united the Cuban exile community in 1892 to launch the final stages of his move for Cuba’s independence. The conference included a diverse group of panelist such as in-house counsel from MasterCard, Sony Pictures Television, NBC Universal and Telemundo, Target Corporation, Ryder System, Chevron, TotalBank, Carnival Corporation, Time Warner/Warner Bros. Company, and Del Monte Fresh Produce Company, among others. The conference allowed for genuine conversations between panelists and members regarding key issues that exist in our profession today, such as the importance of diversity in law firm leadership and the difficulties in generating and retaining business.

I am also happy to report that our state legislator once again awarded CABA $50,000 for its Pro Bono Project so that it may continue to service our community and provide legal assistance to the less fortunate. I want to thank the members of the Dade Delegation for their support, as well as the Governor’s Office. The Pro Bono Project continues to need as much help and support as it can receive from our members and we continue to encourage our members to provide their time to the Project.

In this issue of Briefs, we cover the current legislative and judicial elections. There are many contested races occurring in our community. Given that elections are the basis of our democratic system, it is important that we, as attorneys, go to the polls and vote for a candidate. It is also important that we educate and get others to vote. Please vote for your commissioners, representatives, judges and state attorneys (in the upcoming primary elections) and assist your family and friends to do the same.

It is also important that we educate others on the merit retention system for our Florida Supreme Court justices and appellate court judges. Three Florida Supreme Court justices and 15 appellate court judges will be on the ballet this upcoming November. In a merit retention election, judges are ethically prohibited from discussing policy views (unlike those running for elected office). This is why it is so important for us, as attorneys, to educate ourselves and others about these judges and their rulings and to also educate non-lawyers about the merit retention system and about the work performed by these judges.

I am really looking forward to my remaining time as president of this great organization. We have some truly amazing events planned. As promised, we will be expanding the organization beyond South Florida by hosting events in Orlando and New York for CABA members. We will also be hosting a rain making event, a mentee cocktail event the day before the Minority Mentoring Picnic and a mentor-mentee pairing speed dating event. Our annual Art in the Tropics, benefiting our Pro Bono Project, is scheduled to take place on October 13th at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden. We will continue to raise money to make sure we have $100,000 endowed in our CABA scholarships by the end of this year. We will also be refocusing our efforts on law schools and will be opening individual CABA law school chapters. There is no doubt that it will be a busy, but enjoyable, six months!

Sincerely,

Vivian de las Cuevas-Díaz President 6 www.cabaonline.com

EDITOR’S MESSAGE

Dear colleagues:

After completing my second issue as Editor-in-Chief, I would like to start by thanking all of you who have contributed to making this year of Briefs as successful as it has been. Previous editors have set the standard quite high and without each Briefs committee member and writer, releasing an issue of this quality would not be possible. I particularly want to thank our amazing Articles Editor, Jorge A. Perez Santiago, who is willing to help me regardless of the date and time and without whom I would not be able to get this done.

There are many significant issues taking place in our (legal) community. Immigration continues to be a hot topic, especially in light of the upcoming presidential election. In this issue, we learn about Jose Godinez-Samperio, a Florida State University College of Law graduate, who despite having passed the Florida Bar exam, is still waiting to be admitted to the Florida Bar given that he is here illegally. Jose legally arrived in the United States from Mexico with his parents when he was only nine years old. Their visas, however, expired, and they remained here illegally. Do you believe Jose should be granted admission to the Florida Bar? Or do you believe attorneys, despite the benefits they can provide to the community, should be legal residents? It will be interesting to see what the Florida Supreme Court decides.

In this issue, we also cover the controversy of affirmative action in higher education. This fall, the U.S. Supreme Court will revisit affirmative action in colleges in Fisher v. University of Texas, a case by a white applicant who was reviewed in an applicant pool where race was considered and racial minority status was rewarded. While I was in college I remember a white acquaintance making a comment that had she had a Hispanic surname, she would not have been denied admission to a top New York law school which a Hispanic acquaintance had been admitted to. The two had attended the same undergraduate school, had taken a similar curriculum, and had received similar grades and LSAT scores. While some may believe the comment to have been inappropriate, I have no doubt it is a sentiment felt by many who are denied admission despite having excellent grades and exam scores. How do you feel about the issue? Do you believe individuals benefit from having a diverse student body that can share racial perspectives with one another? Or do you believe that affirmative action should no longer be permissible in colleges?

Lastly, please do not forget to go out and vote in the upcoming local and judicial elections, which we cover in this issue. Please urge others you know to vote, such as friends and family. Share with them this copy of Briefs so that they too can learn about the candidates.

As always, I hope you enjoy reading this issue as much as I have enjoyed putting it together. Please send your comments and suggestions to [email protected].

Sincerely,

Diane P. Perez Editor-in-Chief

In Southeast Floating Docks, Inc. v. Auto-Owners Insurance Co., Case No. SC11-285 (Fla. Feb. 2, 2012), the Florida Supreme Court opened a new door for addressing public policy choices. On a certified question from the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals, the Court held that Florida’s offer of judgment statute, section 768.79, Florida Statutes (2006), has no application where a dispute is governed by Choice of Law a choice of law provision that applies the substantive law of a foreign jurisdiction. In reaching its determination, the Court analyzed the offer of judgment statute’s mandatory language, which requires a Provisions, trial court to award attorney’s fees where certain conditions set forth in the statute are met. The Court also considered that the statute contains a mixture of substantive and procedural aspects, such that the Offer of it provides a substantive right to attorney’s fees to a party that has satisfied the procedural conditions. Then, having determined the statute to be substantive, the Court conducted a conflict of laws Judgment analysis and found that parties are free to contract on attorney’s fees.

Interestingly, the Court’s conflict of law analysis appears to focus almost exclusively on the offer of judgment statute’s fee shifting nature, Statute, and and compared the statute to section 57.105, Florida Statutes (2006). The Court, however, did not consider the legislative intent behind the enactment of the offer of judgment statute, which is to promote settlements. Public Policy Yet, as recognized by the Court, a conflict of laws analysis necessarily entails a public policy choice and the promotion of settlements is certainly more favored in Florida law than mere fee-shifting provisions. Choices The apparent disconnect might be bridged by reference to the Court’s discussion on the offer of judgment statute’s purpose, which ...... is subsumed with the Court’s discussion of the statute’s substantive nature. That is, the Court wrote: “This statute, however, has not produced the desired outcome [of promoting settlement] as the validity The Southeast Floating Docks and applicability of [the statute] have produced a significant amount of independent litigation.” And so it appears that the Court, having found decision is likely to dramatically the statute not to operate according to its legislatively stated purpose, increase the scope of any dispute determined that such a public policy analysis would be unavailing and related to public policy choices by therefore performed its conflict of laws analysis based upon the Court’s determination of the effectiveness of the statute’s stated purpose. authorizing courts to peer behind the legislature’s stated intent for a Unless limited to its facts, the Southeast Floating Docks decision is likely to dramatically increase the scope of any dispute related to public particular statute and to analyze policy choices by authorizing courts to peer behind the legislature’s whether that intent has been stated intent for a particular statute and to analyze whether that intent has been realized in practice. realized in practice.

The Third District reasoned that the permissible in determining the numerosity proposed class definition was overbroad prong of the class certification analysis.

The putative class interested in joining the lawsuit.

Estates and Trusts

…the Third District held that the common law rule that statutes of limitations are “inapplicable to shield trustees from their responsibilities to their beneficiaries” remains in full force and effect in Florida with two readily recognizable exceptions......

Wading through the morass of statues of limitations has become a bit easier for the trusts and estates practitioner. In Taplin v. Taplin, Case No. 3D10-2919 (Fla. 3rd DCA May 9, 2012), the Third District held that the common law rule that statutes of limitations are “inapplicable to shield trustees from their responsibilities to their beneficiaries” remains in full force and effect in Florida with two readily recognizable exceptions. Section 736.1008, Florida Statutes (2007), provides those exceptions as imposing a six-month limitations period where the beneficiary received an accounting “fully disclosing the matter” in dispute, and a four-year limitations period where the beneficiary received an account statement and the trustee informed the beneficiary of the location of trust records. The Third District held that no limitations period could apply, at least at the motion to dismiss phase, because the beneficiary alleged that he never received any accounting.

14 www.cabaonline.com Expert Testimony ......

Where do appellate courts draw the line in determining whether a trial court’s rejection of expert testimony has been arbitrary? The First District has provided some guidance in Beach Community Bank v. First Brownsville Co., case No. 1D11-4596 (Fla. 1st DCA Mar. 14, 2012). Beach Community Bank offered the testimony of an expert appraiser in support of its motion for a deficiency judgment after a foreclosure. The expert utilized numerous methods of calculation to determine the property’s value, which on cross-examination was found to be nearly half the value the same expert had appraised the property only a year earlier. The expert’s methodology went unchallenged and no contrary expert was offered by First Brownsville. The trial court rejected the testimony because the difference between the appraisals “was simply ‘too dramatic.’” The First District reversed and held that the trial court was required to accept contradicted expert testimony where the expert’s methodology went unchallenged. The lesson: impugning an expert’s credibility is insufficient if a practitioner seeks to avoid the expert’s opinion. Attorney’s Fees

… parties should scrutinize contractual fee provisions and statutory fee-shifting provisions for broad language that can permit recovery of attorney’s fees for litigating the amount of fees recoverable......

In Waverly at Las Olas Condominium Ass’n, upheld unless they violate public policy and Inc. v.

CABA BRIEFS | SUMMER 2012 15 Cuban Issues Rumors of lifting travel restrictions for Cuban citizens

by Monica M. Albarello

In recent news, Cuban Parliament Chief Ricardo Alarcon mentioned that “radical and profound” changes with respect to travel restrictions of Cuba’s citizens were forthcoming. To date, however, nothing “radical and profound” has occurred because, simply put, rumors are just rumors.

If some change does occur, which Cubans will benefit? It is hard to believe that medical doctors, scientists, and professionals will be allowed to leave the country. For many years the Cuban government has sent doctors to Venezuela and South Africa. The doctors are sent for a contractual period of time and are to return to Cuba when it expires. When South Africa was not enforcing these contractual terms, Cuba threatened to withdraw the remaining doctors working there and cease their healthcare relationship.1 Cuba has always tried to prevent individuals that constitute “the brain” of the country from leaving in fear that they will not return. In this respect, the Cuban government is not going to change. The Cuban government receives too much of a financial benefit from sending their medical doctors abroad and educating foreigners in Cuba to allow “the brain” to leave the country without ensuring their return. Even if these rumors prove to be true, it is unlikely to become a reality for the country’s “brain.”

Aside from “the brain,” who else will benefit? Cuban citizens make an average of $20 a month.2 How are they going to afford the cost of an exit visa? According to one article, exit visas presently cost $150.3 A reduction in the cost of an exit visa would not be significant enough given the average

monthly income of a Cuban citizen. Further, leaving” Cuba has never been a simple task because an exit visa must be granted by the government. There are many Cubans who have been waiting up to five or six years for permission to travel outside the island and have yet to receive it. Thus, leaving Cuba to travel abroad is likely to remain difficult.

One restriction that is not subject to change is the “carne” or personal identification card one must wear to talk about baseball—or anything else for that matter—at the park. In fact, Cubans are required to carry their personal identification card with them at all times. If an individual is caught undocumented, they may very well be arrested and sometimes charged for conspiring to overthrow the government.4 Freedom of speech is not up for negotiations.

As noted above, rumors are just rumors. When the Cuban government stirs up their citizens’ emotions by feeding them false hope, the government revives itself—the people believe in their government and that aids the government in preventing “un golpe de estado” or coup d’état. In short, the Cuban government’s motivation is self-preservation; it is not the good of the people.

CABA BRIEFS | SUMMER 2012 17 Inaugural “Lawyers on the Run” 5k Run/Walk Co-chaired by: Isabel Diaz & Yara Lorenzo

The 2012 Inaugural “Lawyers on the Run” 5k to benefit CABA’s Pro Bono Project was a huge success! As a runner myself, I could not have been more proud to see so many members of the bench and bar in shorts and sneakers on Saturday, June 2, 2012, at Tropical Park to support our inaugural event. This family-friendly event was open to everyone in our community with a dual purpose: to raise awareness of health and well-being in the legal profession and to raise funds to ensure that access to justice remains a reality for all in South Florida. In addition to having Kiss Country providing a great all-American soundtrack to keep us moving, we had Univision’s own Sandra Peebles serving as the mistress of ceremony. by Yara Lorenzo Despite the large number of 5k runs/walks taking place across South Florida, our community came out in full support of our inaugural event. By all accounts, the run was well-organized and our participants had a lot of fun. Notable attendees included the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, Wifredo A. Ferrer, Miami-Dade County Court Judge Fleur J. Lobree, Eleventh Judicial Circuit Court Judge Milton Hirsch, and Eleventh Judicial Circuit Court Judge Beatrice Butchko. Also deserving special praise, Miami-Dade County Commissioner Joe Martinez was present that morning. Through the generous support of the Miami-Dade County Commissioner’s Office, the fees for our venue, stage, sound system, and police officer support were waived.

In sum, through the 5k, we had over 500 members of our community present, 380 run/walk participants, and raised approximately $13,000 for our Pro Bono Project.

THE TOP TEN OVERALL WINNERS OF OUR INAUGURAL RUN WERE AS FOLLOWS:

Yara Lorenzo serves as vice-chair of CABA’s Pro Bono Project. She can be reached at [email protected]. 18 www.cabaonline.com Through the help of our industrious running committee, we put together a seamless event in less than five months. A much deserved thank you and congratulations go out to: Dax Bello, Javier Ley-Soto, Jason Silver, Juan D’Arce, Olivia Rodriguez, Miriam Ramos, Gina Beovides, and Diana Vizcaino. In addition, this event could not have been possible without CABA’s always-supportive Past-Presidents, who fielded a team of fourteen runners—in addition to several more who ran under their law firm teams—headed by Team Captain Manny Morales.

As most of our membership knows by now, the Pro Bono Project, which offers free bilingual legal services to our local indigent community, was formed by CABA in 1984 to provide indigent minorities with access to our court system and adequate voluntary legal representation. In order to sustain and expand this worthwhile cause, we need your continued support at events like this.

It is our hope that throughout the years, Lawyers on the Run becomes one of the premier events in our legal community, in the same way that the Corporate Run has become one of the premier events in the business world. You cannot go wrong with an event that combines raising funds to provide access to justice and reminding the bar to keep health and personal fitness at the top of their daily agendas.

Our next event will be in the fall for our Annual Art in the Tropics event at Fair Child Tropical Gardens. We hope everyone will come out for this event as well. As with our 5k, proceeds will go towards expanding our reach of service in this community. Thank you for your continued support. Until next year, keep running!

When the effort began three years ago, few elected officials had given the problem much thought, believing “sex slavery” was something that happened to foreign girls brought to the United States – not something that happened to our own children. “It has been a long and, at times, arduous road, but it has certainly been a victorious conclusion and the beginning of many, many success stories for the children we serve,” Diaz said after the rigorous 2012 session. The Florida Safe Harbor Act finally recognizes commercially sexually exploited children as victims of a crime, not criminals. The legislation will also provide services and protection rather than punishment to these victims.3

Kristi House’s Executive Director Trudy Novicki explains the measure further: “The commercial sexual exploitation of children and human sexual trafficking of children is an increasing pandemic in this country. The Florida Safe Harbor Act will allow first responders the option of treating commercially sexually exploited children as child-victims by placing them at private treatment centers, or Safe Harbors, if available, to treat these children and offer them hope for a future.” In addition, Attorney General Pam Bondi stated, “The Florida Legislature has passed a bill that will help end human trafficking, a form of modern-day slavery… I greatly appreciate our state leaders taking a firm stance that human trafficking will not be permitted in Florida.”

Neither my partner nor I could eleven years fill the eminent scholar’s shoes, but Bollinger had bigger fish to fry. The New York Times was on the phone and needed a response from him about later. the ruling that came out that day from the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals regarding the University of “So, . . . Michigan’s affirmative action cases.

ummm . . . And these were extraordinary cases. Grutter v. Bollinger and Gratz v. Bollinger would wind up in can you guys the United States Supreme Court.1 They were the long-awaited corrective to the Court’s first, and morbidly confusing, foray into affirmative action in take over?” college admissions, back in 1978, in University of California v. Bakke.2 Grutter and Gratz were decided by the Supreme Court in 2003 and as we approach their tenth anniversary, we may wish to reflect on what they meant. Such reflection is especially appropriate given that the Court is slated to review a case—Fisher v. University of Texas—that may very well diminish, perhaps severely, the constitutionality of affirmative action.

CABA BRIEFS | SUMMER 2012 27 The story of affirmative action in colleges begins with a 32-year- The Court rejected Grutter’s claim, arguing that race may be old Vietnam veteran named Allan Bakke. In 1973, Bakke applied considered as one factor, among several, by the admissions to the medical school at the University of California, Davis (U.C. committee.9 The Court’s reasoning hinged on the idea that a Davis).3 His credentials were impressive: a 3.46 overall GPA and school, especially a law school, benefited richly from a diversity Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) scores that placed him of perspectives, including a diversity of racial perspectives.10 in the ninety-sixth, ninety-fourth, and ninety-seventh percentiles According to the Court, lawyers were immersed in a world that for the verbal, quantitative, and science sections, respectively.4 was racially diverse, and knowledge about the perspectives Nonetheless, U.C. Davis rejected him. Bakke later learned that of different racial groups would be crucial for effective legal U.C. Davis had allocated 16 of its 100 seats in the incoming representation. In this sense, although racial minorities are class for racial minority candidates.5 Those admitted under this generally the direct beneficiaries of affirmative action, the Court quota had an overall average GPA of 2.88 and average MCAT suggested that white students could benefit also from a racially scores that placed them in the forty-sixth, twenty-fourth, and diverse class. thirty-fifth percentiles for the verbal, quantitative, and science sections.6 Angry, Bakke sued U.C. Davis for violating both his Twenty-five years after Bakke, Grutter finally settled it: race- federal civil rights and the Equal Protection Clause. based affirmative action in colleges was justifiable but only to advance a diversity of perspectives, never to compensate for In 1978, the Supreme Court decided a five-to-four victory for a history of societal discrimination. Racial quotas like that used Bakke, but the Court failed to produce a majority opinion. by U.C. Davis, the Court hastened to stress, were not indicative Offered instead were two combative plurality opinions, each of a serious interest in a diversity of perspectives.11 They were commanding four justices. To complicate matters, Justice indicative of the school’s desire to compensate minorities for Powell penned a lone opinion, different parts of which were societal discrimination. joined by the two camps. Michigan’s law school was able to show that its admissions Lawyers and judges scratched their heads: When was affirmative policy was aimed at the former, not the latter, end. First, the action permissible in college admissions and when was it not? law school did not rely on racial quotas.12 Second, the law They had to wait until the Court would take up Grutter and Gratz school persuasively argued that it had in years past accepted in 2003 for clarification. The facts of their cases follow. white candidates who had lower GPAS and LSAT scores than those of black and Latino applicants who were turned down, Barbara Grutter was a white Michigan resident who was thus preempting the charge that the law school sought to rejected from the University of Michigan Law School.7 She, like compensate victims of racial discrimination.13 Bakke, had a strong record, with a 3.8 GPA from Michigan State and a 161 Law School Admission Test (LSAT) score.8 And like While Michigan’s law school was able to retain in tact its Bakke, Grutter discovered that certain racial groups were given admissions policy, the Court struck down in Gratz the admissions preferences in the admissions process. She too claimed that her policy in Michigan’s undergraduate college.14 Jennifer Gratz, Equal Protection Clause rights were violated. a white resident of Michigan, applied to the undergraduate College of Letters, Science, and the Arts (LSA) at the University of Michigan and was not admitted.15 She argued that the LSA gave undue preference to racial minority candidates, thus violating her rights under the Equal Protection Clause. Unlike the law school, which seemed to rely supplely on a set of factors, the LSA used a rigid point system in its admissions process. An applicant could score a maximum of 150 points, earning points for high school GPA, standardized test scores, in-state residency, and so on.16

Applicants who were identified as black, Latino, and Native American would be allotted an additional twenty points, a policy that riled the Court.17 In the Court’s words, the LSA would allot to a racial minority the same number of points as a white candidate who possessed the “extraordinary artistic talent” comparable to “Monet or Picasso.”18 With irritation, the Court remarked that such intense racial preference was a smoke-screen for the sort of discrimination that U.C. Davis had implemented in Bakke, not an attempt to further a diversity of perspectives.19

Next fall, the Court is set to revisit affirmative action in colleges in Fisher v. University of Texas.20 Currently, the University of Texas has an admissions policy that automatically admits the top ten percent of a high school’s graduating class.21 Abigail Fisher, a white Texan, fell a bit below the top ten percent of her school

28 www.cabaonline.com and was thus reviewed in an applicant pool where racial minority status would be rewarded.22 She has argued in her brief that the Equal Protection Clause forbids a public college from giving any consideration to an applicant’s race.

The chief aspect that makes Fisher’s case intriguing is that the Court’s membership has changed, rendering it a forum that is potentially less sympathetic to affirmative action. There are now four conservative justices, who probably will vote against Texas’s affirmative action—Roberts, Scalia, Thomas, and Alito. And there are three liberals who will almost certainly vote for it—Ginsburg, Breyer, and Sotomayor. (Justice Kagan has recused herself, although she would have probably voted against Fisher).23 All eyes will turn, as they often do, to Justice Kennedy, the swing vote. Based on his comments in previous cases, it is unclear how he will decide.

I want to conclude with what critics of affirmative action have said. The critics have charged that the fabled sharing of racial perspectives hardly ever happens in college. They have also suggested that too many minority students, accepted largely because of their race, struggle in colleges for which they were not prepared. And the critics also charge that there is something odd in the Court’s claim that racial perspectives—and only those of black, Latino, and Native American students (not those of Asian, Arab or European)—are uniquely valuable in a university.

Whatever happens in Fisher, the high tide for affirmative action is, given the Court’s composition, probably waning.

You Be the Judge

“MERIT” SELECTION A History and The Florida Bar defines “merit selection” as “[a] method for selecting judges solely on the basis of merit rather than through the popular election process.”1 The implication of the Comparison Bar’s definition is that a competitive election process seeks to select judges by some criteria other than merit. By extension, no democratic election will select candidates based on merit. of Judicial This is a difficult definition to accept in a society that favors democratic elections. As Thomas Jefferson said, “I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the Selection Methods people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform them with education.”2 Then again, as Alexander Hamilton argued, “[I]ndependence of the judges is equally requisite to guard the Constitution and the rights of individuals from the effects of those ill humors, which the arts of designing men or the influence of particular conjunctures sometimes disseminate among the people themselves; and which, though they speedily give place to better information and more deliberate reflection, have a tendency, in the meantime, to occasion dangerous innovations in the government, and serious by Jane W. Muir and Renee B. Kramer oppressions of the minor party in the community.”3

32 www.cabaonline.com There is no question that one should select judges based on either joint selection by a governor and council or gubernatorial merit. However, consistent with the different priorities described selection with council confirmation.9 by Jefferson and Hamilton, much controversy surrounds the question of which method of selection produces the most Beginning in the 1830s, there began a shift toward increased qualified, impartial, and responsible judiciary. Inevitably, suffrage and broader popular control of public office inspired choosing a judicial selection and retention method requires by Andrew Jackson’s populist democratic ideologies.10 This balancing different objectives and comparing relative strengths democratization movement focused on the judiciary because and weaknesses of the available alternatives. In order to make the public already elected governors and legislators.11 However, an informed decision, it is important to be aware of the history of to some extent there was also a feeling that judges were being judicial selection, the evolution of the objectives of the process, appointed “too frequently from the ranks of the wealthy and and the arguments for and against the available methods. privileged.”12 By the Civil War, twenty-two of thirty-four states elected their judges. Only the older states continued to use the HISTORY appointive method subject to legislative approval.13

Originally, “court” came to be used to refer to a judicial assembly Between 1870 and 1930, political parties began to exert because the word referred to an enclosed area where a sovereign considerable influence over identification of judicial candidates, and his entourage heard disputes. The verb “to court,” meaning their elections and their retention. Widespread dissatisfaction to win favor, derives from the same source.4 Later, medieval kings arose, and by 1880, the American Bar Association (“ABA”) delegated their authority to resolve disputes to judges outside and other bar associations made the effort to restore public the king’s court. These judges exercised the king’s authority confidence in the courts. At the 1906 annual meeting of the ABA, under his direct supervision.5 As Roscoe Pound made a famous a result, loyalty to the king, rather speech, entitled “The Causes than knowledge, skill or experience, of Popular Dissatisfaction with determined judicial selection.6 the Administration of Justice,” where he proposed that, Later, in colonial times, the English “[p]utting courts into politics and king held absolute control of compelling judges to become the appointment and removal of politicians, in many jurisdictions, judges. The American colonists has almost destroyed the found the practical results of this traditional respect for the arrangement unacceptable, and bench.”14 the appointment of judges by the monarch was among the causes The Progressive Era, from for separation from England. You 1900 through 1917, saw the may recall that the Declaration of promotion of alternatives to Independence refers to King George partisan elections: nonpartisan III’s treatment of colonial judges elections, direct judicial among its grievances: “He has made primaries, shortened ballots, Judges dependent on his Will alone, and nominating committees for the tenure of their offices, and were proposed or adopted the amount and payment of their by many states. The goal of salaries.”7 progressives was to promote efficiency because, as legal scholar Roscoe Pound argued, The Declaration of Independence proclaimed that Americans inefficiency in the courts caused “[u]ncertainty, delay and were endowed with unalienable8 rights that governments expense, and above all the injustice of deciding cases upon are instituted to protect. Where the consent of the governed, points of practice, which are the mere etiquette of justice.”15 rather than the divine right of kings, is the government’s source Elections were considered inefficient because of the expense of of power, credibility and popular support of the judiciary are political campaigns. To solve this and other problems associated vital. The authority derived from these permits the judiciary to with the election of judges, Albert Kale, founder of the American effectively challenge the legislative and executive branches and Judiciary Society, suggested a plan using the chief judge and maintain a balance of powers. presiding justices to form a judicial counsel to seek out the most qualified candidates.16 Kale’s plan was inspired by the idea of The thirteen original states struggled with improving the selecting judges based on their merit.

With their newly acquired independence, they system for its appellate courts in 1940, and so it came to be adapted the appointment process.

CABA BRIEFS | SUMMER 2012 33 COMPETING OBJECTIVES JUDICIAL SELECTION METHODS

The history of judicial selection reflects the tension between the Controversy continues over the advantages, disadvantages objectives of independence and accountability. Independence is and effects of the various judicial selection methods because the most important concern for those who believe that judges the passage of time and experience have not revealed a visibly are depositories of the law or “living oracles” who, as William superior method. Blackstone, English judge of the 18th century, commented, are responsible for knowing customs and rules and abiding by The appointment process addresses the weaknesses of precedents and “sworn to determine, not according to his own elections: (1) the general public is ill-informed about judicial private judgment, but according to the known laws and customs candidates, leaving the majority of voters to rely on racial of the land; not delegated to pronounce a new law but to maintain or ethnic name recognition to make voting decisions21; (2) and expound the old one.”18 Blackstone’s primary concern was elections are usually issueless and have low voter turnout; “to keep the scale of justice even and steady, and not liable and (3) incumbents are typically never opposed or reelected to waver with every new judge’s opinion…”19 The assumption easily, but if they are opposed there are significant problems is that independence of the judiciary will produce fair results associated with accomplishing court business while fundraising because the law itself is fair, and judges are above individual and campaigning during election time.22 bias, corruption or ignorance. Therefore, independence permits the judiciary to protect the rights of individuals and minorities by making unpopular decisions that the majority would oppose.

Those who view judges as lawmakers consider accountability to be the most important goal of a judicial selection method. Judges may affect the law subtly or change it dramatically by making decisions. The common law has been extended and modified by judges for hundreds of years, thereby shaping and giving meaning to legislatures’ work. Interpretation of statutes permits judges to fill voids left by the legislature or determine whether a statute should apply to a factual scenario not directly contemplated by the law, perhaps an even greater power. Elections also often deter qualified candidates from seeking Invalidation is the ultimate authority—a judge’s power to strike judicial office. “Many attorneys ... have a philosophical distaste for down a law altogether because it is found invalid. Some critiques politics and political campaigning, and thus refrain from seeking consider their discretion unbridled. David Kairys, author of office.”23 Elections may also compromise the independence of The Politics of Law: A Progressive Critique, argues that judges the judiciary—“judicial officers, unlike other elected officials, make their decisions based on social, political, institutional, or should not be governed by the transient whims of the public experiential factors and find confirming legal rationalizations that which is likely to vote an unpopular, although competent, judge often distort or ignore contrary arguments or authorities.20 By his out of office for rendering correct but controversial decisions.”24 logic, a judge should be expected to rule in a manner consistent with the majority political opinion and if the rulings are unpopular, However, appointment has its own shortcomings. The main be accountable to the people. In the same respect that medieval concern, as voiced by Charles Tiffany of Kissimmee in his letter judges’ loyalty to the king was paramount, contemporary judges to the Florida Bar News, is that it deprives citizens of their should obey the will of the people according to this theory. right of franchise.25 Judges are virtually guaranteed life-tenure because they are rarely removed in retention elections. Even worse, without elections, the public is never educated about the candidates by information acquired during a campaign cycle.

Moreover, it is naïve to suggest that appointment “takes the politics out” of judicial selection. Judicial selection is still highly political. However, the appointment process is designed to involve interest groups that are thought to have a legitimate concern in judicial selection. Interest groups have the power to devise their own campaigns to sway the opinion of the judicial selection committee. Those groups that are involved in the process of appointment will still maneuver to influence the choices for seats on the bench because judgeships are prestigious and because their decisions inevitably affect the destiny of those involved in the litigation process. The key issue is whether the unique kind of politics that affect the appointment process adequately represents public, political, legal and judicial perspectives.26

34 www.cabaonline.com FLORIDA’S JUDICIAL SELECTION PROCEDURE

Florida implemented a merit selection and retention program by constitutional amendment in 1972 after four out of seven justices of the Florida Supreme Court left office in disgrace by retirement or resignation.27 Trial court judges are elected, but vacancies on the trial bench are filled by appointment. Forty to ninety percent of judges are appointed to fill vacancies, so a significant majority of trial judges are appointed to the bench.28

The Florida Bar News reports that well-funded campaigns are targeting the retention elections of appellate judges that fail to rule in favor of the majority on controversial subjects. These campaigns have been designed to essentially permit the people to step into the role of the king and demand loyalty from the judiciary to them.29 Members of the judiciary are being condemned for ruling against the will of the people—or perhaps some of the people. In an effort to calm the fury of a vocal segment of the population, the Florida Bar has made a significant effort to educate the general public about the purpose of merit retention elections. Their efforts have received mixed reviews from members of the bench and bar who actively participate in the appointment process.

Perhaps the anti-retention campaigns are a warning sign that our current judicial selection procedures inadequately balance the public perspective with other political and legal interests. Transparency of process and promotion of the quality of our judiciary to the non-legal community may be sufficient to include the people in the appointment process enough to stop the vocal critics from detrimentally affecting the judicial system. The issue now is how to balance the need for the articulation of interests by a variety of segments of society, including the general public, and minimize the problem politics that jeopardize the fairness of the process.

by Gina Beovides This year’s Corporate Counsel Conference focused on bringing together diverse minority attorneys and national and local counsel to create opportunities for communication among in house and outside counsel. The event took place at the San Carlos Institute, located in the heart of Key West’s historic district. The San Carlos Institute is a historical site affiliated with the Smithsonian Institution, considered to be the cradle of Cuba’s independence movement, and the site where Jose Marti united the exile community in 1892 for his drive for Cuba’s independence.

The three-day seminar included a diverse panel of in-house and outside counsel, who spoke about the challenges of expanding into Latin America and litigation issues faced by corporations and how law firms can position themselves to assist with those issues. Additionally, the panels focused on the challenges that minority in house and outside counsel have faced throughout the years, as well as the milestones that we have reached in promoting diversity in all areas of the law. Panelists included in house counsel for MasterCard, Sony Pictures Television, NBC Universal and Telemundo, Target Corporation, Fox International Channels, Ryder System, Chevron, TotalBank, Prudential Real Estate Investors, Carnival Corporation, Time Warner/Warner Bros. Company, Del Monte Fresh Produce Company, and Motorola Solutions, among others. We were also fortunate enough to gain some precious insight into the world of litigation from the perspective of some of our fine jurists from the Circuit Court of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit—the Honorable Judge Jose M. Rodriguez, Complex Business Litigation Division, and the Honorable Judges Marcia B. Caballero and Spencer Eig, both of whom sit in the General Jurisdiction Civil Division.

CABA BRIEFS | SUMMER 2012 49 In addition to the conference, we hosted several cocktail receptions and dinners so that our members could socialize and network with the panelists, moderators, and sponsors. Nearly 100 participants attended the main dinner on the second evening of the conference, which featured Joseph K. West, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Minority Corporate Counsel Association.

… the panels focused on the “challenges that minority in-house and outside counsel have faced throughout the years, as well as the milestones that we have reached in promoting diversity in all areas of the law.

Through the help of moderators, panelists, sponsors, and the corporate counsel committee, the conference was a” huge success. A special thank you goes out to the following committee members for their service: Jennifer Perez, Nelson Bellido, Nory M. Acosta- Lopez, Annie Hernandez, and Diana Powell.

Lastly, this event could not have been possible without the help of Rafael Peñalver, who opened up the doors, and our eyes, to the historical significance and ideals of the San Carlos Institute, which stands for “truth, liberty, justice, self-determination and the dignity of the individual.” These very same principles are at the core of CABA’s foundation and are what we strive to promote. In appreciation, CABA has donated $2,500 to the institute and looks forward to hosting a Cuba cultural awarness event at the institute.

Thank you to all who attended. We hope next year’s conference will be even greater!

CABA BRIEFS | SUMMER 2012 53 Sixteen years ago, nine-year-old Jose Godinez-Samperio and his Undocumented Bar Applicants parents legally entered the United States from Mexico, but overstayed their visas. Jose began his journey by first graduating from Armwood High School in Seffner, as their valedictorian.1 He then received a bachelor’s degree from New College with a major in anthropology THE and his Juris Doctorate from Florida State University College of Law.2 However, after accomplishing so much, Jose has one last obstacle to overcome prior to admission to The Florida Bar as a licensed attorney. Unlike his studies, this last obstacle is largely out of Jose’s control and AMERICAN tied together with some of the most divisive political discourse in the United States.

Although Jose has been completely honest and forthright about his DREAM? immigration status during the course of his undergraduate and law school education, he still had to address his status in his Florida Bar application because of a policy enacted in January 2008 by the Florida Board of Bar Examiners (the “Board”) that requires Florida Bar applicants to provide valid citizenship or immigration documents.3 The fact it is a policy is of importance given that there appears to be a distinction between a policy and a rule. As stated in Rule1-12 of the Rules of the Supreme Court Relating to Admissions to the Bar (the “Rules”), the Rules are reviewed, approved, and promulgated by the Supreme Court of Florida.4 Modifications to the Rules require the filing of a petition with the Supreme Court of Florida and subsequent order by the Court. According to Rule 1-13, the Board is an administrative agency of the Supreme Court of Florida created by the Court to implement the Rules relating to admission to the Florida Bar.5

Jose, determined to make his dream a reality, sought a waiver from the Board’s policy requirement so that he could complete his Florida Bar application and sit for the Florida Bar Exam. The Board granted the waiver and allowed Jose to sit for the Florida Bar Exam. Unsurprisingly, by Vivian M. Reyes and Javier A. Reyes he passed.

Jose, however, has yet to be admitted to the Florida Bar. Depending on how you interpret the Rules of the Florida Supreme Court Relating to Admissions to The Florida Bar, Jose has arguably earned the privilege of admission. He has met the basic qualifications that are expected of all applicants: (1) he graduated from an ABA-accredited law school; (2) passed the Florida Bar Exam; and (3) the Board has not indicated that he has not produced satisfactory evidence of good moral character.6 The one major impediment that remains is Jose’s status as an undocumented immigrant.

Sensitive to the larger issues presented by Jose’s case, the Board petitioned the Florida Supreme Court for an Advisory Opinion regarding the following question: “Are undocumented immigrants eligible for

54 www.cabaonline.com admission to The Florida Bar?”7 Of course, with the politically from then-President Zack, who is of Cuban-American descent divisive immigration issues serving as a back-drop, the legal and has championed the plight of immigrants, to U.S. Senators issues are narrower for Jose.

In his letter, Mr. Zack highlights that Emeritus and Professor of the Florida State University, the the DREAM Act is consistent with American ideals of fairness distinguished Talbot “Sandy” D’Alemberte, and opportunity.

Mr. D’Alemberte argues to the Florida Supreme Court in his Regardless of the Supreme Court’s ruling on Jose’s particular Response to The Petition of The Florida Board of Bar Examiners case, the broader policy question highlighted by Mr. Zack and that the Board’s policy requiring Florida Bar applicants to his colleagues remains.

CABA BRIEFS | SUMMER 2012 55 56 www.cabaonline.com CABA BRIEFS | SUMMER 2012 57 Local Elections

As Election Day 2012 quickly approaches, campaigns for Miami-Dade County are running at full speed for the primary elections on August 14, 2012. This election season has been fast paced, interesting, and hard fought – as usual.

First, the Miami-Dade County Mayor’s seat is a by Jason Silver contested election, with the current incumbent Mayor, Carlos Gimenez, facing at least eight challengers, the main one being County Commissioner and Chairman Joe A. Martinez. Mayor Gimenez, who was elected in June 2011, says CABA’s role in the community is important in his campaign efforts. “My re-election campaign is about continuing a fundamental shift in the way [Miami- Dade County] does business. It’s about working with organizations like CABA—reaching out and listening to one of our largest professional communities—that we will move forward. I have no doubt that together we can make Miami the world’s next greatest city.”

County Commissioner Joe Martinez, who helped make the recent CABA “Lawyers on the Run” 5K possible, stated his campaign is about reform and improving the economy. “As a supporter of reform and accountability in our local government, and being an advocate for change as the twice-elected Chairman of the Board of County Commission, I heard the residents of our community loud and clear. Reforms, although slow in coming, are happening in Miami-Dade County; however, the real reform needed is not only transparency and accountability, it is also creating job opportunities for all our small businesses – the backbone of financial stability and prosperity for our County.”

Second, there are also Miami-Dade County Commission seats up for grabs with seats 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 13 at stake as incumbents and challengers Joe Martinez all vie for the opportunity to shape policy and lead in County Commissioner one of the biggest counties in the State of Florida.

Additionally, there are races set for Property Appraiser, Clerk of the Courts, and School Board seats 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9.

One thing is certain – with Election Day 2012 right around the corner, members of CABA will once again have the opportunity to shape the future of Miami- Dade County and continue their strong relationships with community leaders. As County Commissioner Joe Martinez said, “CABA members can certainly do more of what they already do – that is, bolster their pro bono service to the poor, be civically involved in the issues that impact this community at the municipal, county, state, and federal levels, and also be a conduit of information to the community in general.”

CABA BRIEFS | SUMMER 2012 63 “Se llevó la cerca.” English translation: “He took the fence.”

Imagine a man driving his car through a wooden fence. What you have just envisioned was a not-so-smart, but extraordinary act, and that is what the saying means. For instance, “se llevó la cerca” would appropriately describe the April 2012 statement of Miami Marlins Manager, Ozzie Guillen, regarding his admiration and respect for Fidel Castro. Guillen may know baseball, but I question if he has any common sense. Guillen failed to understand Dichos that being a manager of a major league baseball team also links him to the team’s community. The Miami community is home to many Cuban exiles that had no choice but to immigrate to the United States to avoid the consequences of Cuba’s communist de Cubaby Monica M. Albarello regime. Guillen “se llevó la cerca” when he made his wildly unpopular comment of admiration toward Fidel Castro.

Many Cuban sayings are quite visual. If you can picture the statement, then you will understand the meaning of the saying. “Arroz con mango.” The following English translation: “Rice with Mango.” are a few of the Rice and mango is not a traditional Cuban dish. However, if you picture slices of mango mixed with white rice, then you have an image of a messy most visual Cuban meal. The saying “arroz con mango” is used to describe a messy situation. sayings my family, The song “Maria Teresa y Danilo” by Hansel y Raúl is not just a great salsa song, it is also an “arroz con mango” song. The song is about a love Cuban friends, and story between Maria Teresa and Danilo (el siempre viste de traje, y ella se viste de hilo) (he is always dressed in a suit and she is dressed in linen). I could recall. Unbeknownst to them, however, they shared the same father! These messy situations create an “arroz con mango.”

64 www.cabaonline.com “A paso jicotea.” English translation: “At a turtle’s pace.” It is well known that turtles, with their heavy shells, move at a slow pace. That is why this saying is used to describe a person who lacks motivation, ambition, or is a procrastinator. The expression is most commonly used as follows: “Al paso de jicotea que va, nunca lo va lograr.” English translation: “At the turtle’s pace he is going, he is never going to accomplish anything.” There are people who love to talk about all the things they are going to do, but never come around to accomplishing it. We have this saying to describe those people. But let us not forget that in the classic fable of “The Tortoise and the Hare,” the slow-moving tortoise still wins the race! Procrastinators are not necessarily quitters.

“Le das un dedo y te coje la mano.” English translation: “You give him a finger and he takes the whole hand.” We all know this saying pretty well. The expression refers to people who take advantage of others. A perfect example touches close to home. My aunt has a neighbor who is unemployed and has too much free time on his hands. His hobby is to sell junk outside his home and the junk is quite pricey. Last summer, my aunt’s mango tree was bountiful all season long. My aunt told her neighbor that he could get some mangos to share with his family. When she left to her timeshare for a week, the neighbor took over sixty mangos – more than half the bloom! Upon her return, she found her mango tree almost bare. We later found out her neighbor sold the mangos for profit outside of his home. This is a prime example of someone “que le das un dedo y te coje la mano.” This Painting by José Rodríguez Fuster summer, my aunt’s mango tree is already in bloom, but she will not be offering mangos to her greedy neighbor.
