Media General Convergence, Inc. v. Crist

28 Fla. L. Weekly S129

An issue arose as to whether documents concerning complaints of sexual harassment or inappropriate behavior by a judge were public record. The Florida Supreme Court found that, when such complaints are filed with the Judicial Qualifications Commission, the complaints and records are confidential until such time as probable cause is found. Once probable cause has been found, documents in possession of the chief judge become public record.
