Governor’s Council: Lack of Experience an Issue for Nominees
Photos
Lack of experience is an issue for many nominees for the bench.
This is a comment I often hear from the people of District Two
When you consider a court such as the District Court or the Superior Court where the issues brought before it are so varied, it may be hard to imagine how anyone could have experience in all those matters. Criminal cases, civil cases, drugs, violence, financial disputes, the list goes on.
When speaking to the residents of District Two I have been impressed with the number of people that tell me that they do have the experience that is sought. Furthermore they have also expressed an interest in becoming a judge.
Given the quality of the people that I have met in District Two I have to wonder why so many nominees that receive a nomination appear to lack the experience desired.
In criminal matters many nominees have only seen one side of that issue, either solely the prosecution or solely the defense. Furthermore as attorneys move up in the public sector they tend to focus on a specific issue rather than working with several different issues. They may focus on drug crimes, sexual crimes, violence crimes, etc. So their experience is limited not only to the side they represent but also the types of cases they have experience with.
Seeing a nominee with a wide breadth of experience is rare, even though there are plenty of people with exactly these professional experiences.
When I speak with people of District Two that have the experience to be a good judge I am always disappointed to hear their reluctance to apply for a position. They always cite the view that in order to become a judge you have to already work for the state or donate money to the right people.
I always try to dispel l people of this rather negative notion, but it is hard to do when about 75% of the nominees are already employed by the state.
Unfortunately even when a nominee lacks the well rounded experience that should be expected, there are claims that they are none-the-less well qualified.

Speaking of courts, Framingham court has the lousiest sound system. Can hardly hear the judge and participants. This is in the main room not the other rooms.
Nice they take the cameras away from us.....of course that was all because of my brother and I who were recording an event several years ago with me being taken the court by the police for an email...LOL
The case was thrown out, sorry police......your going to have to try harder next time to silence me. Anyway the person in court who made the bogus charge attacked my brother while we were videotaping. But they didn't want that video because it didn't show us doing anything wrong. Sorry again coppers.. Nothing happened to the attacker who attacked us. Another Father Pranzo scam.
...we play nice not like the cops who violated the search and siezer (sp) laws by confiscation our video. They finally gave the tape back a week later but then banned all cameras in the court house shortly afterward.
It sure is nice to be part of history seeing our civil rights being violated by one court official and police officer. The police officer was Matt Guttwill who tried his best to arrest me...to no avail. Sorry again coppers.
I've been in the court house so many times I think people think I'm a lawyer....LOL
Was there today with the Wolfeman....cops trying to get Harold again....on bogus charges. That's what they are good at.
Tibor should be ashamed of himself for telling some good fibs.

Did you miss me? Did you really miss one more person to lie about, and speak for, and twist and spin? Get help, Rizolis, get help! Your country is not the same as my country, and my country is the greater place. Get help, and in the meantime, you have my prayers.

My God is quite clear on the topic of stone-throwers and false prophets. Beware!

If your country is not the same then what country do you live in?

I'm not sure if you're asking me, Walt, but my country is the UNION, the United States of America, with its constant progress toward greater freedom and greater opportunity for ALL people--a model for the world, a beacon of justice and mercy and tolerance. Does that help?

But the Rizolis treat The Patch more like a pool. Every ten minutes there's something awful in the water...
