Do you want answers in Judge Roberson’s Disciplinary Case dismissal?

Anyone seeking protection from the Court should be able to expect neutrality, dignity, a fair hearing, and careful consideration of evidence. One should be able to trust that asking for help will not expose one to humiliation or increased danger.

In his response to disciplinary charges, Judge Eric C. Roberson admitted making statements that demeaned a litigant. He disputed other allegations and numerous alleged judicial-code violations. 

His disciplinary case subsequently ended following his voluntary retirement and an agreement never to hold judicial office again, according to reporting describing the dismissal.

The proceedings ended before a final disciplinary hearing.

Leaving the bench protects future litigants.

The people who have been affected deserve answers.

We call on the Florida Judicial Qualifications Commission to:

Identify who authorized the dismissal and explain its rationale.

Release the agreement and legally available approval records.

Explain how the prohibition on future judicial service will be enforced.

Provide clear information about existing avenues for affected litigants to raise concerns.

We seek transparency, fair treatment, and an accurate public accounting.

 Disputed allegations should be identified honestly, and admitted conduct should be addressed openly.

You do not need to have appeared before Judge Roberson to care.

Sign because everyone who enters a courtroom deserves dignity—and the public deserves to understand how judicial accountability decisions are made.
