Detra Shaw-Wilder, a lawyer from Coral Gables, has been appointed as a federal magistrate judge in the Southern District of Florida, following an unsuccessful nomination for a federal district judgeship due to opposition from Florida's Republican senators. Despite this setback, which cropped up during a contentious election period, her appointment represents a significant milestone in diversifying the federal bench. U.S. Rep. Frederica Wilson praised Shaw-Wilder's commitment to her profession and the community, emphasizing her impact on young Black girls who will see themselves in her achievements.
