Broward County Court Judge Peter Skolnik was a songwriter, flea market entrepreneur and ballroom dance instructor who was ejected from the Peace Corps for his student activism — all before he spotted an ad for an LSAT exam a few days away and decided to become a lawyer.
He also taught kids in an inner-city school to avoid getting sent to Vietnam, spent summers tooling around Europe and Africa on motorcycles he’d resell in the U.S. to finance his adventures, and spent a year in Japan as a manufacturer’s representative before setting off on a trek around Southeast Asia.
