Board sends the governor 78 names for JNC appointments.

The Florida Bar Board of Governors nominated three lawyers each for a vacancy on each of the state's 26 judicial nominating commissions at its May 22 meeting in Key West.

Gov. Rick Scott will make the final appointments for four-year terms beginning July 1.

In his letter to the governor putting forth the Bar's nominations, President Greg Coleman said the Bar solicited and strongly encouraged all attorneys, especially diverse candidates, to apply for vacancies.

"We received over 343 applications from well-qualified attorneys from all over the state," Coleman said. "Six screening committees composed of members of The Florida Bar Board of Governors who practice in the geographic areas corresponding to the vacancies were appointed for the purpose of reviewing these applications and making recommendations to the Board's Executive Committee. The Executive Committee then reviews and submits its recommendations to the Board of Governors."
