Miami judicial candidates received a grilling from the Gwen S. Cherry Black Women Lawyers Association, which held its annual forum Thursday night ahead of the Aug. 18 primary election.

Moderators Wilkie D. Ferguson Jr. Bar Association President Trelvis Randolph and Gwen S. Cherry’s Vice President Kadisha Phelps didn’t beat around the bush, asking pointed questions to candidates with a lack of jury trial experience and repeatedly asking how judges should address implicit bias and racial disparities.
