No more test for the SDFLA
This just came across CM/ECF:
Administrative Order 2012-14 In re: Elimination of Attorney Admissions Examination
Pursuant to Administrative Order 2012-14, the Judges of this Court have decided to eliminate the requirement that an attorney take our examination in order to be admitted as a member of this Courts Bar. Although this information does not apply to current members of our Bar, we are sending this notice in an attempt to receive as broad dissemination as possible. Effective immediately, the attorney admissions examination is discontinued. If you know attorneys who may seek admission to our Bar in the near future, please advise them to monitor our website for updated admissions procedures that will be posted in the near future.
Too bad -- I mean there were really important reasons that lawyers had to memorize the questions and answers that were given before the test.

SDFLA judicial happenings
Judge Jordan was sworn in on Friday so he can begin working on the 11th Circuit. His formal investiture is coming up.
Magistrate Judge Robin Rosenbaum may be moving up to the district court soon. Rumor has it that her hearing is this Wednesday. As of this morning, this link shows that there will be hearings, but does not list who will be heard. I'm hearing that Rosenbaum will be on this calendar.
The JNC is taking applications for the open district seat (because of Jordan's elevation). It will be interesting to see how many people apply as state circuit judge John Thornton is the presumed candidate to get the seat because of what occurred before.
