"Dade Bar Project Drives to Provide Refuge to Homeless" by Donna Gehrke
"Dade Bar President Kendall Coffey said many needy people work and have some income, but lack the cash resources to initial pay full market rents or to furnish deposits for security or electricity. But with the Special Housing Program, those initial deposits aren't required. As a result, the project enables a person with a low income to secure housing well below market rates."

"Elusive Justice"
As Mr. Coffey correctly notes, the problem is not a shortage of qualified minority and female lawyers; it's that too few seek judgeships. Diversity also needs to be a goal for appointments to local Judicial Nominating Commissions and for those doing the hiring throughout the justice and law-enforcement systems.

"The decision means that if you're a small bank in North Dade, for instance and you have an eye on the Hallandale market, you can cross the county, open a branch and enhance your business," said attorney Kendall Coffey, who argued Consolidated's case 11 months ago when he was with Greenberg, Trauig, Hoffman, Lipoff, Rosen & Quentel.
