11th Judicial Circuit Court of Florida, Department Family - FC 12, Rm. CHC 1915

Biography

Hon. David Young is a judge for the 11th Judicial Circuit Court of Florida in Miami-Dade County. He was first elected to the Circuit Court in 2000 and elected again in 2016.


After serving for seven years on the Circuit Court, Young took a hiatus from his judicial position to host his nationally syndicated court television show called Judge David Young. His show, which ran for four seasons, earned Emmy award nominations for two of those years. Young was ultimately re-elected to a seat on the Circuit Court in 2016. He began his judicial career as a judge for the Miami-Dade County Court in 1993 and remained in that capacity until his election to the Circuit Court in 2000.


Young received a bachelor's degree from Tulane University. He then completed a J.D. at the University of Miami School of Law.


In 1984, he joined the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office, where he served as an assistant state attorney for three years. During his tenure there, he held an assignment in the Felony Division. Young then entered private practice, where he remained until his election to the County Court in 1993.


In addition to his television program, he also hosted a radio show called Justice with a Snap, which aired on Sirius XM Radio, Inc.


Young has served on the board of the Miami-Dade Humane Society.


Away from the bench, he enjoys collecting penguin items and watching Broadway musicals. Young was born in Miami, Florida, and has been married to the Hon. Scott Bernstein since 2014.
