On Wednesday, there was a Celebration of Life for Judge James Lawrence King. His long and storied life is difficult to summarize but perhaps the fact that best encapsulates his standing in this community is that he was blessed to serve the people and administer justice in a building named after for many years. Hard to imagine that even many legends get that honor.
Part of his legacy are his clerks, among them: Ricardo M. Martínez-Cid, Yara Lorenzo Klukas, Mark Heise, Gera Peoples, Jennifer Olmedo-Rodriguez, and Jose Ortiz among many other well-respected lawyers in our community. Two of them, Peter Klock and Richard Rosengarten, attended the Celebration of Life and were kind enough to share what happened that day and their personal reflections on Judge King and what he meant to South Florida. Their writing can be accessed here.
