EJCBA October 2026 Luncheon CLE- Guest Speaker Alex Williams, Esq.

"PLEASE NOTE"

Effective July 1st, 2026, Guests will no longer be allowed to park in the School Board parking lot.

The Florida Judicial Qualifications Commission is described as “an independent state agency charged with investigating allegations of judicial misconduct and disability against Florida state judges.” But what does that process look like?

Executive Director Alex Williams, Esq., will lead the audience through a discussion of the workings of the JQC, which remains a mystery to many lawyers. Attendees will become familiar with the rules governing investigations and the procedures that the JQC uses when investigating complaints against judges.
