Courthouse of the Day: Broward County

broward county.jpgBroward County has given us many, many Judges of the Day in the past. Now the county has earned the dubious distinction of our first ever “Courthouse of the Day” award. The central courthouse building is a disaster area.

From Courthouse News Service:

A 2-inch pipe burst on the second floor, courthouse communication center, damaging about 3,000 civil, family, traffic and misdemeanor files….

The building has broken elevators and tottering plumbing, air conditioning and electrical systems. Its mildew problem has led two longtime judicial aides to notify the county of their intent to sue. They say the mildew has given them severe pulmonary problems.

The courthouse’s Welcome Page indicates jurors (and assumedly attorneys and court staff) are not off the hook though. They are required to report as scheduled.

The Sun Sentinel has concerns about the effect of the decrepit courthouse on constitutional rights:

The constitutional access to courts is blocked because of aging water pipes, flooded rooms and a prior lack of urgency. Telecommunications into and out of the hub of our local legal system are downgraded to cell phones for judicial assistants and walkie-talkies for bailiffs.

That’s right. Because the phone lines are out, the court has posted cell phone numbers for all the judges. So if you were hoping to score the number of hottie former Judge of the Day Ana Gardiner (or at least her judicial assistant), now’s your chance.

Let them "sue" their employer. For workers' compensation benefits - because that's all they will get.

Does Gardiner have a great body or, at least, a monster rack? Because her face certainly does make her a "hottie."

3/8 has an unfair advantage since the picture shows the body

This post doesn't surprise me at all. That place is a craphole. Rather then build a new courthouse, they just keep adding on to the craphole. Maybe this will finally get Broward County to get off their ass and replace that dump.

Sometimes being ugly isn't a bad thing. For example, if I were a pirate and I got injured boarding a cruise ship, I would call upon the services of Mr. James M. Beard Esq. (3/8 guy). I mean, he's ugly, his name is Beard, and he practices maritime law. He's pretty much the only guy I would trust with my booty. How is he going to attract that clientele without a picture? On behalf of Mr. Beard, thank you 3/8.

Duval County Courthouse (Jacksonville, FL) is next in line for Courthouse of the Day. They've been planning to rebuild for ten years, but in the meantime it's lime green 1960's tile, dirt, and narrow halls/low ceilings.

Worse than the physical courthouse are the juries inside.

"We want to see the pitcher of the [plaintiff's] head again," was a request from a Broward county jury foreman. 100% serious. Broward is Miami-Dade's average-looking, dumber stepsister.
