The Florida Bar has announced an extension of the application deadline for vacancies on several Judicial Nominating Commissions (JNCs). The new deadline is March 13, 2026, at 5:30 p.m.
To be eligible, applicants must be members of The Florida Bar who are practicing law and living within the jurisdiction served by the commission they wish to join. Commissioners appointed to these positions will not be eligible for state judicial office for two years after their term ends if that vacancy was filled by the JNC on which they served.
Applications must be submitted using the designated form; resumes alone will not be accepted. Screening committees from the Board of Governors will review all submissions before recommendations are made by the Executive Committee to the full Board.
Interested individuals can start their application process and download the required form. For assistance, applicants may contact The Florida Bar headquarters at (850) 561-5788 or email [email protected]. All completed applications must be received by March 13, 2026.
