flag On March 12, 2026, the Florida Supreme Court publicly reprimanded Broward County Judge Woody Clermont for violating judicial ethics by representing a friend in a 2025 domestic violence case while serving as a judge. flag The court found he acted as a lawyer, negotiated with prosecutors, argued for bond, and offered character testimony—actions prohibited under the Code of Judicial Conduct. flag Although no improper outcome was proven, the court accepted the Judicial Qualifications Commission’s recommendation, citing Clermont’s lack of prior discipline and remorse. flag The reprimand is final, and Clermont must appear in person to receive it. flag A separate review is ongoing for Judge Lauren Peffer over campaign-related conduct.
