Jacob Noble, Judicial Candidate for Palm Beach County Court Group 12 Ep. 24

On this special election edition of The Palm Beach Current, Chris Moody sits down with Jacob Noble, candidate for Palm Beach County Court Judge, Group 12, ahead of the upcoming election.

With more than 20 years of experience as an attorney, over 50 jury trials, appellate experience, and a career spanning criminal and civil law, Noble shares what inspired him to pursue a seat on the bench and why he believes his experience in both the public defender's office and private practice has prepared him to serve as a county court judge.

Noble discusses his commitment to an independent and impartial judiciary, what voters should know about the often-overlooked county court system, and the types of cases that come before a county court judge—including landlord-tenant disputes, small claims, misdemeanors, and civil matters. He also explains how he would approach the courtroom, emphasizing dignity, respect, patience, and making sure every person feels heard.

The conversation also explores Noble's views on judicial efficiency, access to the courts, the importance of technology like Zoom, and the challenges facing the judicial system. He explains why he sees the county court position as a destination rather than a stepping stone and why he believes judicial decisions should be based solely on the facts and law—not politics, endorsements, or future ambitions.

Beyond the campaign, Noble opens up about his personal evolution, his love for the Jupiter Hammerheads and Roger Dean Stadium, and his life as the adoptive parent of two Chihuahuas, Teddy and Wendell.

Tune in for an informative conversation designed to help Palm Beach County voters better understand the candidate, the role of county court, and why judicial elections matter.
