Tampa’s legal elite were on hand for the formal investiture of Roberta Colton as she became a U.S. Bankruptcy Court judge on July 15.
In a ceremony in the 17th floor courtroom of the federal courthouse in downtown Tampa, she became the fifth woman to become a bankruptcy judge in the Middle District of Florida, one of the nation’s busiest. Colton, a former shareholder with the Trenam law firm, will be hearing cases from Tampa, Jacksonville and Orlando.
