Tutstar, no judge (county, circuit, district court of appeal, supreme court) in Florida is eligible to practice law during their tenure on the bench, although they remain members in good standing of the Florida Bar Association.
Upon their retirement from the bench, judges can again reassert their licenses to practice, if they wish. Alternatively, some judges are retained by the courts after retirement as "Senior Judges" who continue to hear cases in a judicial capacity, filling in for regular judges who may be vacationing, or otherwise in an overload situation.
Thanks for explaining that. I've definitely learned a lot through all this, some which I wish I'd never known.
