  4. Before considering the challenges raised in the petitions, we find it necessary to explain the background relating to the assignment of senior judges. For the purposes of judicial administration, a "retired judge" is defined as a judge not engaged in the practice of law who has been a judicial officer of this state. See Fla.R.Jud.Admin. 2.030(a)(3)(B). Section 25.073(1), Florida Statutes (2001), also specifies that a retired judge may not have been defeated in seeking reelection or retention to his or her last judicial office. In 1990, Florida Rule of Judicial Administration 2.030(a)(3) was amended to provide that a retired judge serving on assignment to temporary judicial duty may be referred to by the honorary designation "senior judge." This designation had no effect on the responsibilities or conduct of the retired judge. See In re Amendment to Rules of Judicial Admin., 560 So.2d 786, 787 (Fla. 1990).

  6. Pierre v. State

    821 So. 2d 1174 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2002)   Cited 22 times
    The State argues that the Florida Bar rules do not answer this question. The State points out that under the Florida Constitution, it is the Chief Justice (and where delegated, Chief Judges) who have the power to assign retired judges. Fla. Const. Art. V, § (2)(b). The Rules of Judicial Administration state that "[a] retired judge shall comply with all requirements that the Supreme Court deems necessary relating to the recall of retired judges." Fla.R.Jud.Admin. 2.030(a)(3)(A). The court has not issued a rule on the point. The State argues that the Florida Supreme Court can, if it chooses, allow service by retired judges with inactive bar membership. See also § 25.073(1)(b), Fla. Stat. (1999) (providing in part that a retired judge is one who "[i]s not engaged in the practice of law.").
