Below is the portrait of Judge Charles B. Fulton. He served as Chief Judge in our district for 11 years (from 1966-1977)! A 1982 statutory amendment limited Chief Judge terms to seven years. Sharing that in case the question comes up in your local pub trivia contest. FBA write up below.
Hon. Charles B. Fulton was nominated by President Kennedy and served on the district court from 1963-1996. In Lee v. Ridgdill, 444 F. Supp. 44 (S.D. Fla. 1977), Judge Fulton held that dismissing a police chief for consulting an attorney about a polygraph test request violated due process and ordered his reinstatement with back pay.
