Gov. Charlie Crist appointed two Palm Beach County judges — Cory Ciklin and Jorge Labarga — to the Fourth District Court of Appeal, based in West Palm Beach.

Labarga had been among five finalists for a seat on the Florida Supreme Court, so this appointment appears to take him out of the running for that.

The governor’s statement:

TALLAHASSEE – Governor Charlie Crist today announced the appointment of Palm Beach County Judge Cory J. Ciklin of Jupiter and Circuit Court Judge Jorge Labarga of Wellington to the Fourth District Court of Appeal. “Judge Ciklin has been deeply involved in the management of the county court, implementing innovations through judicial leadership,” Governor Crist said. “His 14 years of experience as a jurist have led him to appreciate the connection between the activities of the court and the daily lives of citizens who find themselves there.”

Ciklin, 51, has served as a Palm Beach County Judge since 1994. Previously, he served as an assistant state attorney and Palm Beach consumer advocate from 1991 to 1994. He was a senior associate with Boose, Casey, Ciklin, Lubitz, Martens, McBane and O’Donnell from 1983 to 1991.

“With extensive experience in both the private sector and public service, Judge Labarga has developed a keen understanding of how his decisions as a judge impact both our judicial system and society,” Governor Crist said. “His broad and diverse roles throughout his 29-year legal career have given him significant qualifications to serve on the appellate court.”

A 45-year Florida resident, Labarga, 55, was born in Havana, Cuba. He has served as a Circuit Court Judge in the 15th Judicial Circuit since 1996. Previously, he practiced with Roth, Duncan and Labarga for four years, and with Cone, Wagner, Nugent, Johnson, Roth and Romano for five years. Larbarga served as an assistant public defender from 1979 to 1982 and an assistant state attorney from 1982 to 1987. He received his bachelor’s degree and a law degree from the University of Florida.

Ciklin and Labarga will fill the vacancies created by the retirements of Judge George A. Shahood and Judge Barry J. Stone.
