In re Inquiry Concerning Judge Jerri Collins

The Florida Judicial Qualifications Commission (JQC) alleged that Seminole County Judge Jerri Collins violated Canons 1, 2A, and 3B(4) of the Code of Judicial Conduct in the course of presiding over a domestic violence case. Judge Collins accepted full responsibility for her wrongful conduct. The JQC and Judge Collins entered into a revised consent judgment imposing as sanctions on Judge Collins a public reprimand before the Supreme Court, the successful completion of an anger management course, and attendance at the domestic violence course offered during Phase II of the Florida Judicial College. The Supreme Court approved the revised consent judgment, holding that the JQC’s findings were supported by clear and convincing evidence and that the sanctions were appropriate.
