DUI Attorney W.F. ''Casey'' Ebsary Jr's Certifications
Here is what the Florida Bar has to say about Board Certification. Excerpts from the Florida Bar Journal on Criminal Law Certification.
Criminal Law Certification
"The certification process consists of three requirements: an active practice in either criminal appellate law or criminal trial law; excellent peer review references; and passing the certification examination."
There are "high standards expected by committee members and The Florida Bar."
The Certification Exam
"exams contain five essay questions and 50 multiple-choice questions addressing procedural and substantive law in both state and federal court. The exam assesses criminal lawyer’s fundamental knowledge of the law, analytical reasoning, and skill in applying knowledge to practical situations . . . applicants answered these questions in two three-hour blocks . . . ."
The Bar certification committee "grades the examinations on an anonymous basis, with each examinee identified to committee members only by a number assigned by Florida Bar staff. Those attorneys who meet all requirements for a certified attorney and achieve a passing score on the examination will earn the designation as a criminal appellate law board certified specialist or criminal trial law board certified specialist."
"Of the more than 100,000 members of The Florida Bar, 384 are currently board certified in criminal trial law . . . ."
Confidential Peer Review
"Without candid commentary from applicants’ peers, the committee’s ability to properly review applicants’ qualifications would be severely curtailed. The committee emphasizes to Bar members and judicial officers that commentary is confidential and will not be divulged to any applicant."
Michael Salnick, Chair Criminal Law Certification Committee
