Big Changes Ahead for the Supreme Court of Florida
Justice Cantero recently announced that he is resigning from the Supreme Court of Florida effective September 6. Then last week, Justice Bell also announced his resignation effective October 1.
Now comes word from this article from the 5/24/2008 edition of the Miami Herald that Justices Anstead and Wells will be forced to leave office early next year due to reaching the mandatory retirement age of 70. So within the next few months Governor Crist will have the opportunity to appoint four of the seven justices on the court. Justices Cantero, Bell, and Wells are generally considered to be the three most conservative justices currently serving.
