Eliot B. Peace, an attorney in Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP’s Tampa office, has been appointed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to the Judicial Nominating Commission for the Second District Court of Appeal.

JNC members serve four-year terms, except when an appointment is made to fill a vacant, unexpired term.
The firm said that Peace, as a member of Bradley’s Litigation Practice Group, represents business and commercial clients in complex litigation across a variety of industries and in state and federal courts across the country
Peace previously served as a federal prosecutor and in-house counsel in the U.S. Air Force JAG Corps.
