Through our years of practicing law, we're constantly learning—whether from watching opposing counsel, co-counsel, or through good old-fashioned trial and error. But one of our judges has quite helpfully published "some friendly, random advice" about federal court practice that should be required reading for every federal practitioner. That judge is Judge Huck, and you can read his tips on his SDFLA webpage.
But Judge Huck is now taking his show on the road, so to speak. Beginning in September, he is embarking on a CLE breakfast series in which he (and another district judge) will expand on this advice in person. If you're a young professional—a lawyer with four years of practice or less—you can register for one of these breakfasts, which will be held at locations throughout Miami (Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, etc.).
The first breakfast, featuring Judge Huck and Chief Judge Altonaga, will be held at the law firm of Leon Cosgrove Jimenez in Coral Gables on September 9, 2026, and has already been approved for 1.5 Professionalism Credits by The Florida Bar. Space is limited to 20 attorneys. You can register here.
Oh, and if Judge Huck ever gives you a pop quiz on what the first rule of "Judge Huck Club" is, don't mess it up like I did. It's this: "Judges do not like surprises!" I went with Rule #2, which is to "learn about your judge."
Kudos to Judge Huck for giving back to our federal bar through this CLE series.
