Open Ninth

Conversations Beyond the Courtroom.

A Tale of Two Judges

Learning about the professional life of a judge – Where did they attend law school? What law did they practice? When did they take the bench? – is generally very easy. These types of questions all have publicly attainable answers. However, if you want to learn about the person behind the robes – Why did they want to become a judge? Are they a morning person or a night owl? How did they adjust to life on the bench? – that is generally not very easy at all. Until now.

Join Chief Judge Fred Lauten as he sits down for a candid conversation with Judges Chad Alvaro and Jamie Grosshans, two of Central Florida’s newest judges.
