Anna Nicole Smith Judges Swap Jobs
(CBS4) FORT LAUDERDALE Two South Florida judges who both gained fame during the Anna Nicole Smith hearings last month have been given new jobs in the Broward court system.
Current family court Judge Lawrence Korda and probate Judge Larry Seidlin will exchange positions, meaning Seidlin will handle family court and Korda will hear probate matters.
The change was handed down by Chief Judge Dale Ross, who made the swap following Judge Korda’s arrest earlier this month after Hollywood police cited him for smoking a joint in a public park.
Ross said his office had received some feedback from people who voiced concern over Judge Korda presiding over family court cases following his drug arrest.
''If you look at the nature of family court and the nature of the charges [against Korda], I think this will help restore the public trust and confidence in the court system,'' Ross told the Miami Herald.
Both circuit judges are veterans who have each spent nearly 30 years on the bench. Judge Ross is expected to issue an order formalizing the change late Tuesday.

Thanks TexKat:)
Huh? Yes, by all means, have the pot-smoking judge decide on family matters, rather than dead people's stuff. Good grief. Nonsensical.
""""Judges Swap Jobs """
They both should have been transferred to the Sanitation Department...to clean up their acts.
Two senior sanitation workers should then be promoted to Judges of family and probate...they would show better judgement and ethics at sorting through garbage.
Judge swap ... like rearranging the Titanic deck chairs.
