Racist Judiciary? Miami-Dade Judge Outrageous Remarks Only Nets 30-Day Suspension
Think racism doesn’t exist? According to the investigative panel while in chamber with the lawyers Judge Stephen Millan made an inappropriate comment, another instance he used the term “moolie” to describe an African-American defendant.
After this pattern of behavior, you can only guess at how it informed his judgments throughout the years when dealing with African-American defendants in his Miami courtroom.
This bit of news is incredibly revealing. Racism in the judicial system is something that is faced from time to time – and is abhorrent.
It’s something we deal with on an almost daily basis representing clients who were treated unlawfully in the workplace because of race.
To add insult to injury the judge received a slap on the hand disciplinary action (30-day suspension and is being forced to pay a $5,000 fine).
He should be removed from the bench – a reasonable expectation of fair justice is gone in this case.

Look folks, I bring this up because it’s important everyone keeps their head up and that we remain vigilant. In the workplace, it can happen that you are fired for racially motivated reasons. It’s unlawful, and employment laws exist to protect you from employer actions based on race, religion, disability, etc.. However, it still happens.
Know your rights in the workplace. Know what you face in the courtroom. Know what options exist to fight back and win if it happens to you.
If you find yourself in an employment situation of your own – don’t hesitate to reach out. I review all claims personally and if you have a case – we’ll help you get through it together.

I agree with Mr. Celler. It is absolutely unacceptable for a judge to make racial slurs in public and especially in a courtroom.
