This year’s honorees were: Stuart Z. Grossman, Marilyn J. Holifield, Robert L. Parks, Frank B. Shutts and Jose “Pepe” A. Villalobos, as well as Judge Cindy S. Lederman and Judge Robert L. Shevin. Honorees were selected from a prestigious group of nominees who have shaped the legal community for more than 25 years and reflect the outstanding legal heritage of Miami and South Florida. The 11th Judicial Circuit Historical Society also presented the Scott J.
