Supreme Court of Florida
Inquiry Concerning a Judge JQC Nos. 2022-189 & 2022-203 Re: Hon. Wayne Culver
November 27, 2024
Summary
The Court accepted the Judicial Qualifications Commission’s factual findings and concluded that Judge Wayne Culver violated multiple judicial canons through abusive, profane, and intemperate conduct in two February 2022 proceedings. It imposed the Commission’s recommended discipline of a 60-day suspension without pay and a public reprimand, while declining to order continued mental-health counseling. The Court did not find a canon violation concerning the separate January incident.
