COURT NOTES
all possible scenarios, unfortunately some problems don’t surface until after the changes take effect. Updated secretarial assignments and chamber locations will be posted soon. 2. A big thanks to Judge Costigan and Judge Kording on their tireless work in planning for the implementation of the Bond Reform Act. The stakeholder meetings continue to evolve and as is contained in the new AO, a new docket has been created to handle the twists and turns of the Bond Reform law. 3. Another thank you to all that helped and attended the joint reception for Justice Holder White and Justice Garman. Both Justices remarked that they appreciated the reception and had kind words to say about the MCBA and the 11th Circuit. 4. My Chief Judge term is winding down and it has been a pleasure to serve as Chief Judge since July 2018. While Covid dominated a chunk of my two Chief Judge terms, I am proud of the progress we made as a Circuit. How we conduct Court today could not have been envisioned when I first took office before the pandemic. I am proud of how the Bar has been receptive to the changes and of the Judges, staff, Court Reporters, and all others in the L&J that immediately rose to the challenge and persevered through it all. It has made us collectively stronger and more resilient. I am confident that we are in a better position now to address whatever comes our way in terms of court operations. I thank you for your patience and understanding throughout my terms. The Circuit is in great hands with Judge Costigan taking over as Chief Judge on January 1, 2023, and I look forward to his leadership. 5. Lastly, we decided to fold the October 2022 Bench/Bar Listening Session into the upcoming November 2, Bond Reform Act update and will be happy to address questions and concerns related to court operations at that time. As always, feel free to contact Will Scanlon, Trial Court Administrator, with any court-related questions. Best regards. Chief Judge Mark A. Fellheimer SAVE THE DATE |
