Florida Bar Honors 6th Circuit Judge

Pinellas-Pasco Circuit Judge Susan F. Schaeffer is known as an expert on capital criminal cases and for her endless work as chair of the Trial Court Budget Commission. Both achievements have garnered her the 2004 Selig I. Goldin Memorial Award from the Florida Bar.

For four years, Schaeffer, 61, has led the commission - the state courts' link to the Florida Legislature - during the ongoing shift of court funding from the counties to the state.
