Initial impressions on the Regional Counsel Nominees

In news that I believe was first posted here, the JNC has whittled down the 34 applicants for Regional Counsel(s) to 15, as reported in the post below.

The first thing that jumps out at me is that some of the nominees no longer seem to live where they lived when they filled out their applications, or else have committed to relocating if selected.

A full one-third of the nominees (unless I am just lousy with a map) are nominated to possibly serve as Regional Counsel in a different region than the one they currently report to the Florida Bar as their place of work.

Most notably, District 3 had to import an applicant from District 2 and another from District 4 to make up the desired three finalists (sorry, Mr. George -- we thought you had it clinched). In other news, either both Maitland and Tallahassee are now under the 2nd DCA, and Pensacola under the 5th (and so on), or else six out of the fifteen nominees have declared their willingness to move if they get the job.

I'm surprised at that, given the salary offered for the job, and surprised at at least one of the names that is not on the list.

We'll keep you posted. Anyone with anything more to report can reach DependencyDefense.com at cam - at - dependencydefense.com
