Judge Lenore Nesbitt was nominated to the district court in 1983 by President Reagan. Judge Nesbitt graduated first in her class at the University of Miami School of Law in 1957. While on the state bench, Judge Nesbitt presided over the trial of the police officers charged with the beating death of Arthur McDuffie and coverup of the same. She moved the trial to Tampa, due to the volatile atmosphere in Miami, which Judge Nesbitt described as a “time bomb”; the acquittal of the officers nonetheless sparked protests and riots through our city. Described by Judge Davis as the “true first lady of the court,” Judge Nesbitt was the first female judge appointed to the bench in this district. She served on the bench until 2001.
