Want to Be a Magistrate Judge?

By John R. Byrne

Yesterday, the Court announced a magistrate judge opening in Miami. You can apply here

As I understand it, this is technically for Judge Valle's seat, which will be open when she retires in January. Though Judge Valle is based in Fort Lauderdale, Judge Shaw-Wilder, who took Judge Goodman's vacant seat, is currently sitting there. 

We're really going to miss Judge Valle. In addition to being an excellent judge, she had what I think were the best procedures for handling discovery disputes, which is where all the fun is had in civil litigation.
