Julie Schumacher, of Schleswig, was selected as one of three nominees to fill a vacancy on the Iowa Court of Appeals
on Monday.
Schumacher is a district court judge with Judicial District 3B, which is composed of Crawford, Monona, Ida,
Woodbury, Plymouth and Sioux counties.
Tim Gartin, of Ames, Myron Gookin, of Fairfield, and Schumacher were selected as nominees by the 17-member State
Judicial Nominating Commission from among 16 Iowans who applied.
Gartin is an attorney with Hastings, Gartin & Boettger, LLP. Gookin is a district court judge with the Eighth Judicial
District
The vacancy on the Iowa Court of Appeals was created when Judge Gayle Vogel retired on July 1.
Gov. Kim Reynolds has 30 days from Monday to select one of the nominees to fill the vacancy.
Prior to becoming a district court judge, Schumacher was a district associate judge with the Third Judicial District
beginning in December 21, 2012.
She became an associate in the law firm of Mundt & Franck in Denison on March 5, 1995, and was named a partner a
year later. She practiced with that firm until she was appointed a district associate judge.
In May 2008, Schumacher became a part-time prosecutor for the Crawford County Attorney's Office. She handled
felony and misdemeanors prosecutions and was also solely responsible for the juvenile prosecutions, including child
welfare, delinquency, and truancy matters.
She also served as assistant city attorney for the City of Denison for about 18 years.
Schumacher was born in Sioux County, lived in Orange City and graduated from Spalding High School in Granville.
After earning a Bachelor of Arts in journalism/mass communications and English at the University of South Dakota at
Vermillion, she attended Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska, and earned her law degree in 1993.

Mathews: Nation's longest serving judge was a tyrant in the court

HIGHLIGHT: That it required death to retire U.S. District Court Judge Manuel Real is a scandal that survives him.
Let's not rejoice at Manuel Real's death. But his passing offers some good news: California's most troublesome federal
judge is off the bench.
While federal judges are appointed for life, the fact that it required death to retire Real is a scandal that survives him.
The 53-year career of Real-the nation's longest-serving federal judge in modern history-offers ugly lessons about
character, impunity and the impotence of our leaders.
If those first two paragraphs seem harsh, it may because you read the ludicrously glowing obituaries following Real's
death this summer. The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Associated Press and legal publications portrayed his
career as that of a judicial giant. Appointed to the bench by LBJ in 1966, Real courageously ordered the desegregation
of the Pasadena schools in the early 1970s, and blocked President Trump's efforts to strip funds from police departments
that don't cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.
"A towering legal figure," the L.A. Times called him. Stories approvingly quoted a statement from Central District of
California Chief Judge Virginia A. Phillips calling Real the court's "heart and soul" and adding: "His legacy of public
service is an inspiration beyond compare."
Real's record is incomparable, but let's pray it's not an inspiration.
What the obituaries missed was Real's routinely awful treatment of people in his courtroom, and a decision-making
style so rushed and lawless that he was routinely reversed by higher courts. In 2006, Congress even held a hearing about
impeaching him.
Growing up in Pasadena, I knew Real's name, given his heroic role in the desegregation case. So it was a shock when,
as an L.A. Times journalist, I covered hearings in his courtroom. I have never seen a judge as tyrannical as Real.
Real sometimes justified his behavior in the name of efficiency. But his behavior encouraged disrespect for the law. He
prevented jurors from taking notes or having courtroom testimony read back to them. He often yelled or cut off
questioning of witnesses in nonsensical ways.
When challenged, he repeated a bizarre mantra: "Counsel, this is not Burger King! In this courtroom, we do it my way!"
Real "created a courtroom of terror," attorney Victor Sherman once told the L.A. Times.
That Real was a menace was no secret, but no one could knock him off the bench. Not colleagues who saw his difficult
tenure as the central district's chief judge. Not the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals judges who reversed him at record-
high rates (in two-thirds of major cases, according to one analysis) and repeatedly removed him from cases during
which he ignored their orders and violated basic procedures. He even survived mismanaging the assets of Philippine
dictator Ferdinand Marcos in one case.
Real wasn't even kicked off the bench after his lawless 2000 takeover of a bankruptcy case involving a woman whose
probation he personally oversaw. A U.S. Supreme Court commission would later cite Real as exemplifying an
Page 5

Friday
unaccountable judge. But federal judges police their own, and Real escaped that episode with a reprimand. Appallingly,
in his later years, other judges honored him.
Real was unrepentant. In one of several L.A. Times stories about his misconduct, Real said: "The best thing about being
a judge is the nature of the service you think you're rendering. The worst thing, probably, is the inability to come down
off the bench and punch somebody in the nose."
So why did Manuel Real get the generous judgment in death that he denied others in court?
One reason is the human reluctance to criticize the deceased. Real also could be charming and public-spirited outside
court; a school is named for him in Riverside County, where he helped establish a school district.
But there are other, more troubling explanations. First, in these politicized times, we have the bad habit of conflating
ideology-Real was a liberal-with character. Second, the American system provides no practical way to remove people
who violate norms and abuse power, be they federal judges or-as today's news demonstrates-president of the United
States.
Even after his death, those who know better won't challenge Real. If you're expecting judges to protect us from tyrants,
you'll be disappointed.

Judge Brownhill to retire this year;

A quarter century on the court
BYLINE: Nicole Bales The Astorian

LENGTH: 377 words
After 25 years on the bench, Clatsop County Circuit Court Judge Paula Brownhill will retire in November.
Brownhill, 68, is the presiding judge of the court. She was appointed by Gov. Barbara Roberts to fill Judge Thomas
Edison's position in 1994 and elected four times.
Brownhill did not plan on finishing another six-year term and didn't think it was fair to run and win reelection only to
leave, she said.
She hopes Gov. Kate Brown will appoint a new judge before she retires. The primary election is next May.
"I decided it was best to do it before the election and if I do it now then someone has an opportunity to be appointed to
the position before the election to see if it's something they really want to do," Brownhill said.
Lee Merrill, the trial court administrator, is also retiring this fall.
"Lee and I work really well together," Brownhill said. "It seemed like a good date."
Brownhill chose a retirement option which requires her to work 35 days a year for five years. She will fill in for judges
in the county and around the state.
She is looking forward to staying involved in law while also visiting different parts of the state.
"The people I'm able to interact with in the courtroom and in meetings, in the community - that's the best part about the
job," Brownhill said. "There's so many people we interact with frequently and I like them all and I will miss that
interaction with them as well, but I'll enjoy being retired."
Clatsop County District Attorney Ron Brown said Brownhill's retirement is "well-deserved after a distinguished
career."
Brownhill became the presiding judge after Judge Philip Nelson retired after his term ended in 2016. Judge Cindee
Matyas and Judge Dawn McIntosh also serve on the court.
Brownhill just received the Oregon State Bar's Wallace P. Carson Jr. Award for Judicial Excellence for 2019, which
honors a member of the state's judiciary for making significant contributions to the judicial system and who is "a model
of professionalism, integrity and judicial independence."
Brownhill said the award was unexpected and that she felt honored.
"I've learned a great deal," she said. "It's been a good job and I really feel honored to have this position for so long and
have the voters have confidence in me."

First African-American federal judge in San Antonio takes bench

BYLINE: Guillermo Contreras

LENGTH: 591 words
The Western District of Texas welcomed its newest judge Friday to a San Antonio seat that has been vacant for more
than a decade.
Chief U.S. District Judge Orlando Garcia swore in Jason K. Pulliam in a full courtroom that included Pulliam's former
employers, friends and other supporters.
Pulliam, 48, becomes the first African-American appointed to the Western District, which includes San Antonio,
Austin, Waco, Del Rio, Alpine, Pecos, Midland/Odessa and El Paso. With Pulliam, the district now has 13 district
judges, who are appointed by the president for life, five senior district judges and 15 magistrate judges, who are
chosen by the district judges to serve eight-year terms.
"This is a very big moment," Pulliam said after his girlfriend, Yvonne Yeary, helped him don his judicial robe. "I hope I
bring a sense of humility to this office."
On ExpressNews.com: Senate moving quickly on Trump appointees, including Pulliam
Pulliam's swearing-in preceded his yet-to-be scheduled formal investiture.
The judges present -- Garcia, U.S. District Judge Fred Biery, Senior U.S. District Judge David Ezra and U.S. Magistrate
Judge Henry Bemporad -- thanked those who made Pulliam's appointment possible: members of the Federal Judicial
Evaluation Committee, who screen the applicants, Texas Sens. John Cornyn and Ted Cruz, who recommended Pulliam
to President Donald Trump, and the president, who nominated him.
"This is the first time, except for a brief period that Judge (Robert) Pitman was here, that the entire court has been filled
since 2008," Garcia said.
Biery pointed to himself, Garcia, Ezra and Bemporad as the "happiest persons in this courtroom" that Pulliam was
joining the court, whose current judges are swamped largely with immigration and drug cases on top of a busy civil
caseload.
Pulliam went through a selection and vetting process that lasted two and a half years, from application through Senate
confirmation.
"I think he's going to be a warm, inclusive addition over here," the evaluation committee's chair, David Prichard, said
after the ceremony.
Pulliam, a native of Brooklyn, N.Y., obtained bachelor's and master's degrees from Brooklyn College and his law
degree from the Texas Southern University Thurgood Marshall School of Law. Pulliam then spent three years as a judge
advocate general in the Marines.
After leaving the Marines, Pulliam went into private practice, moving between the Carlson Law Firm, Ball & Weed
P.C. and Ford & Murray PLLC. In 2011, Pulliam was elected judge of Bexar County Court-at-Law No. 5.

In 2015, outgoing Gov. Rick Perry appointed Pulliam to the 4th Court of Appeals, but he lost reelection the next year to
fellow Bexar County Court-at-Law Judge Irene Rios. He then joined the San Antonio office of Prichard Young LLP. He
ran again for the 4th Court of Appeals, in 2018, but lost to incumbent Patricia Alvarez.
The federal courtroom Pulliam will occupy has been mostly empty since Judge Royal Furgeson moved to Dallas in
2008.
Judge Ezra, who joined the San Antonio court from Hawaii in 2013, said it was nice to have some company on the
same floor.
"He has all of the excellent qualifications one would hope for, and he has the respect and admiration of the bar," Ezra
said.

DES MOINES -- A Fairfield judge is among three people selected by the Iowa Court of Appeals nominating
commission as a potential successor Judge Gayle Vogel.
Judge Myron Gookin was interviewed earlier this week by the commission as part of the process for filling the vacancy
created when Vogel retired early last month. The interview was the first part of a multi-step process prescribed by Iowa
law for filling judicial vacancies.
Nominating commissions handle the initial vetting of applicants and the interviews. The commissions are nonpartisan
and do not directly select the judges. The commission selects three candidates for a vacancy on the appeals court or
Iowa Supreme Court, two candidates for lower courts, and gives those nominees to the governor.
Gov. Kim Reynolds has up to 30 days to select one of the nominees to be her appointment to the appeals court.
Nominees must be licensed attorneys, but need not be current judges for positions on Iowa's higher courts.
Gookin, a judge in District 8A, is joined as a nominee by Tim Gartin and Julie Schumacher. Gartin is an attorney from
Ames, while Schumacher serves in Iowa's Third Judicial District. Both Gookin and Schumacher were originally
appointed by former Gov. Terry Branstad.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Camille Bibles on growth and her career as a prosecutor The Arizona Daily Sun (Flagstaff, AZ)

U.S. Magistrate Judge Camille Bibles on growth and her career as a prosecutor
BYLINE: Scott Buffon
SECTION: NEWS
LENGTH: 1274 words
From her window in Flagstaff's U.S. District Court office downtown, Camille Bibles can see the first summer rains pour
on the beloved San Francisco Peaks as people walk in front of the Coconino County Superior Court.
Bibles was raised throughout the west, she says, and helped prosecute cases throughout the world. But despite a
repertoire that has even led her to prosecute crimes against humanity in Europe, she has always felt most grounded and
at home here in Flagstaff.
And because of her accomplishments, she was recently appointed to the position of full time U.S. magistrate judge of
the Arizona District Court. As a magistrate, Bibles will serve for an eight-year term and help to reduce the large amount
of federal cases for district judges who have lifetime appointments.
"I have the best job in the world. I'm the only federal judge in northern Arizona," Bibles said. "It's the culmination of
an entire career of work."
Her path began when she was raised in western states like Idaho, Montana and California. In these states, her love for
the outdoors was nurtured and led her to pursue a degree in zoology with a minor in history and philosophy.
All along the way, teachers and professors pushed her toward law. It wasn't until a biology professor successfully
pushed her to take the bar exam, and when she scored in the 99th percentile, that she realized it might be time to forge a
new path.
But for Bibles, her mind still sees the connection between science and law.
"What I didn't anticipate is that a lot of the scientific process -- the way it makes you think -- is the same as legal
analysis," Bibles said with a laugh.
She landed her first job with the county attorney's office in its civil division in 1987. There she saw the lines between
science and law connect again when she later was transferred to the office's criminal division to use her background in
biology to work on the case against Ricky Bible.
The case was one that shook the town of Flagstaff to its core, as one Arizona Daily Sun headline wrote years ago. In
1988, Bibles remembers people left their doors unlocked at night and felt safe letting their children ride bikes down
their streets alone.
But in June of that year, when 9-year-old Jennifer Wilson's body was found beaten and molested atop Sheep Hill on the
east side of town, all of that changed.
The Bible case would be the first in the state of Arizona to convict a person using DNA evidence, largely due to the
help of Bibles' background in biology. After she checked to ensure she and the suspect shared no relation, it took three
weeks before the trial and three weeks during the trial to properly introduce the DNA evidence at the time.
Bibles now laughs at the thought, because lawyers and judges today hardly bat an eye over DNA evidence.
After the convicted man was sentenced to death by Judge Richard Mangum, Bible was executed in 2011.
Page 18
She still thinks about the case, and says people continue to stop her on the streets of Flagstaff because of her work years
ago. Despite the atrocious nature of the case, she said there was a silver lining to it.
"The community also realized how important a community is," Bibles said.
After the case resulted in a conviction, Bibles went on to become a chief deputy county prosecutor. She would also go
on to hire a young probation officer out of Maricopa County who was just starting his legal career, but would later make
waves of his own in Coconino.
Presiding Judge Dan Slayton remembers his first interview and how nervous he was of Bibles' reputation.
"I wondered what kind of attorney it took to see [the Bible case] through to its end," Slayton said. "And as I sat through
my interview with then-county attorney Terry Hance and his chief deputy Camille Bibles, I knew I was in the presence
of someone very special."
The two's friendship would grow beyond work as a result of the countless hours they spent working on cases. Earlier
this year, Slayton spoke at the professional gathering to honor of Bibles' ascent to magistrate judge.
In his speech, he spoke with a fondness that hinted at how the two have remained friends even after Bibles left the
county attorney's office in 1998 to work as an Assistant United States Attorney in Phoenix; in that job she continued to
handle northern Arizona cases.
He also described her eventual transition from being a federal attorney to a prosecutor in a world court as a "natural a
progression as night turning into day."
In 2001, Bibles was picked support the United Nations' International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. She
worked to help prosecute a man people called the "butcher of Bosnia." The man known as Ratko Mladic was charged
for genocide after ordering the Srebrenica massacre of more than 7,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys in 1995.
When she arrived at the tribunal overseas, she realized many things: One was how much more experience United States
lawyers have with criminal cases and forensics than other countries due to the way crimes are prosecuted. But despite
her forensic experience, every day she and her team of lawyers from around the globe were faced with new, unforeseen
challenges.
As she shared her memories about the case in her office, from her window, the dark grey clouds could be seen slowly
crawling across the sky. She often looked at one of the tokens on her wall -- a poster made for a documentary covering
Mladic's trial, with the suspects face staring into the room -- as she remembered what compelled her to travel far away
from the home she loved.
"When you looked at the former Yugoslavia and looked at Bosnia, that was something that I found really difficult to
comprehend," Bibles said. "I also felt a responsibility. I think we should all have responsibilities, not just locally, but
globally."
Mladic was eventually sentenced to life in prison with Bibles' help.
She eventually returned from leave to continue to cover her Flagstaff cases as a district attorney, but said the Mladic
trial gave her a renewed appreciation for the tiniest details of judicial processes. To her, the interviews with military men
who described letting small injustices pile up until the country was at war was an example of how important the rule of
law was to her.
"I saw how they destabilized communities, and one of the fastest ways to destabilize communities would be to put in
judges who would not impose the law equally," Bibles said.
And now, she hopes to continue her passion from her magistrate position. Her appointment comes as federal legislation
waits for a presidential signature to add Flagstaff to the map of places where district court cases can be held.
For northern Arizona, juries were once drawn and trials used to take place in Prescott. They no longer do. By adding
Flagstaff to the formal places where district court can be held would help make it so northern Arizona juries would not
have to travel hours to Phoenix for trials.
"Federal judges have always been concerned about having northern Arizona cases tried here. The issue is just making
that happen," Bibles said.
Page 19
And she is happy to see the county progress and grow with their new merit selection system and work on their
specialized courts.
"As Flagstaff grows and Coconino obviously changes -- as we all grow up -- it'll be interesting to see how that [growth]
takes place," Bibles said. "But I think the courts have shown they want the court to reflect the community and the
community's interests."
And from her office, covered in pieces of art she selected in the hopes of representing parts of northern Arizona's
diversity -- both past and present -- she has a great view to do it.

Trump suit against tax-return law assigned to moderate judge
BYLINE: By Bob Egelko
SECTION: Metro; Pg. C1
LENGTH: 576 words
President Trump's challenge to a California law requiring him to release his tax returns in order to appear on the state's
primary ballot was assigned Friday to a federal judge in Sacramento who is a Republican appointee with a relatively
moderate record.
U.S. District Judge Morrison England Jr. was named to the federal bench by President George W. Bush in 2002 after
he'd spent six years as a Sacramento County trial court judge, appointed by Gov. Pete Wilson.
He will hear Trump's case and three others by Republicans and a conservative group challenging the law signed by Gov.
Gavin Newsom last week that requires candidates for president and governor to release five years of income tax returns
in order to appear on the primary election ballot. The first of those suits, by random draw, landed in England's court, and
the others were transferred there as related cases.
Another suit was filed in San Diegoby Rocky De La Fuente, a businessman and frequent political candidate who also
wants to run in next year's Republican presidential primary and is unwilling to release his tax returns. Attorney General
Xavier Becerra has asked the San Diego judge to transfer that case to Sacramento.
The California Republican Party has filed a separate suit in the state Supreme Court, arguing that the new law violates
the state Constitution. That case will remain in state court.
England has scheduled a hearing Sept. 5 on requests by Trump and other plaintiffs to block enforcement of the new law.
England, now 64, attended the University of the Pacific on a football scholarship, got a tryout with the New York Jets as
an offensive guard and coached football in Sacramento while attending law school at night. He practiced law privately
for 13 years before his first judicial appointment, and also served as a lawyer in the U.S. Army Reserve.
One of his rulings, in 2011, required public disclosure of contributors to the $40 million ballot campaign for Proposition
8, the 2008 initiative that banned same-sex marriage in California before it was overturned in a separate federal case.
Donors said disclosure would endanger them, and cited Supreme Court rulings allowing minor parties operating in a
hostile climate to conceal their membership. But England said those cases involved "small, persecuted groups whose
very existence depended on some manner of anonymity."
The judge has also ruled in favor of free-speech challenges to California laws.
In 2015, he struck down a law that banned retailers from charging customers extra for using credit cards. The 1985 law
allowed stores to offer discounts to customers who paid by cash or check as long as they did not refer to the add-ons for
credit cards as "surcharges," a distinction that England found to be a free-speech violation. A federal appeals court
upheld his rulinglast year.
In 2016, England allowed gun groupsto use video footage from an Assembly hearing in their campaign against then-Lt.
Gov. Newsom's ballot measure increasing state regulation of firearms and ammunition, which voters approved later that

Francisco Chronicle (California) August 10, 2019 Saturday
year. A state law made it a crime to use videos of Assembly proceedings for any "political or commercial purpose," but
the gun advocates said the law violated freedom of speech. The law does not apply to the news media.
This March, England rejected a trucking group's challengeto the California Supreme Court's labor-friendly ruling on the
distinction between employees and independent contractors.

The Judicial Commission of Pakistan has recommended three names for the appointment of additional judges in the
Sindh High Court, citing sources. The commission suggested three names for the position of additional judges in the
Sindh High Court including judge Rashida Asad, Abdul Mobeen Lakho, Muhammad Zulfiqar Ali while Barrister Umar
Soomro was dropped from the list, sources said. The suggestion was made after consultation during a session of the
commission under the chair of Chief Justice Asif Saeed Khosa. The judges' appointments will get final approval by the
concerned parliamentary committee in the next 14 days, sources added. Earlier on July 1, an important session of the
Supreme Judicial Council had failed to reach an agreement over the names presented for the appointment of judges in
the Lahore High Court.
Chief Justice of Pakistan, Justice Asif Saeed Khosa had chaired SJC session to review names suggested by the LHC
Chief Justice Sardar Muhammad Shamim Khan for their appointments as high court's judges. However, the council's
session was concluded without making any decision over the recommended names. The LHC chief justice was asked to
present a new list of names for judges' appointments. Sources said that LHC CJ had forwarded a list of judges for their
appointments after consultations that include: Khalid Mehmood, Malik Waqar, Advocate Asif Saeed Rana, former
judges Abdul Rehman Aurangzaib, Advocate Zubair Khalid, Mushtaq Mohal, Advocate Nasir Mehmood, Barrister
Waheed Khan, Humayun Imtiaz. The LHC CJ also recommended names of some Sessions' Judges including Shakeel

9th Circuit to consider McSally's appointment

BYLINE: Howard Fischer Capitol Media Services
SECTION: FREE ACCESS
LENGTH: 679 words
PHOENIX -- Federal appellate judges have agreed to decide whether Martha McSally can continue to serve as a U.S.
senator at least through the 2020 election.
And they have agreed to rush the case -- at least by judicial standards.
In a brief order, the judges of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected arguments by McSally and Gov. Doug
Ducey, who appointed her, that there is no need to expedite the issue.
"Regardless of how this court ultimately decides this appeal, Arizona voters will have the opportunity to select the
person to complete Sen. John McCain's term in 2020," wrote Brett Johnson, one of the attorneys representing the
governor.
And he argued there would not have been a need for an expedited hearing had the challengers to the appointment
moved a bit faster when the case was heard in federal district court in Phoenix.
James Tyrell III, McSally's attorney, echoed those arguments in what amounts to a "me, too" filing with the court.
But that didn't convince the appellate judges, who agreed to move more quickly than normal and set a hearing for
November.
That still leaves the question of whether there can be a final resolution -- and an order for a special election if it comes
to that -- before the already scheduled August 2020 primary where McSally could face Republican foes in her bid to fill
out the last two years of McCain's six-year term and, if she survives that, the November general election, where
Democrat Mark Kelly hopes to unseat her. That's because whoever loses this round is likely to seek U.S. Supreme Court
review, which could delay a final ruling.
"All we can do is try," said attorney Michael Kielsky, who is representing the challengers.
And he conceded that a final determination could come too late to force the special election being sought.
But Kielsky said that, if nothing else, it would set the precedent for what happens in future Senate vacancies and how
long an unelected choice by the governor can serve.
Central to that is the 17th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. It took the power to name U.S. senators away from
state lawmakers and gave it directly to voters.
It also says that when there are vacancies, the governor "shall issue writs of election to fill such vacancies." Ducey has
done that, setting the primary for Aug. 25, 2020, and the general election for the following Nov. 3 to determine who gets
to serve through 2022.
The lawsuit, however, contends the Constitution requires the appointment to be temporary "until the people fill the
vacancies by election as the Legislature may direct." In this case, McCain died last August.
Ducey initially named former Sen. Jon Kyl to the seat until he quit this past January, at which point the governor
selected McSally, who had just been defeated in her own Senate race by Democrat Kyrsten Sinema.

9th Circuit to consider McSally's appointment Eastern Arizona Courier (Safford, Arizona) August 8, 2019
But challengers are arguing that 27 months between McCain's death and the November 2020 election hardly counts as a
"temporary" appointment. He wants a special election ahead of that to give voters the chance to put someone other than
the unelected McSally in office to represents them as soon as possible.
Challengers have to seek 9th Circuit intervention because U.S. District Judge Diane Humetewa rejected his arguments
that the Constitution requires there be a special election within a year -- if not less -- when there is a vacancy in a senate
seat.
In her June ruling, Humetewa acknowledged that Ducey is allowed to fill a Senate seat on a "temporary" basis.
But the judge said she finds nothing in the law that says 27 months is too long for a temporary appointment. And
Humetewa rejected the argument that allowing McSally to serve until the 2020 election infringes on that 17th
Amendment right of voters to choose their own senators.
Humetewa also accepted arguments by Ducey's attorneys that there are good reasons not to call a special election and
instead let McSally serve through 2020. That includes arguments that turnout at a special election would be less than
during a regular one, plus the cost of a special election.

Promotion of 10 judges to cause rise in case backlog

BYLINE: ABIUD OCHIENG
LENGTH: 926 words
The backlog will rise despite CJ Maraga vowing to reduce them.

The elevation of 10 high court judges to the appellate bench has been lauded even as concerns emerge on the
ramifications set to be experienced by the affected courts.
Critics have also poked holes in the wisdom by the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) to find as most suitable only
judges of the High Court, while overlooking those from the Environment and Lands Courts (ELC), Employment and
Labour Relations Court (ELRC) and applicants from the academia.
Those whose names have been forwarded to the President for appointed are Francis Tuiyott, Hellen Omondi, Pauline
Nyamweya, Weldon Korir, Msagha Mbogholi, Aggrey Muchelule, Jessie Lesiit, Mumbi Ngugi, George Odunga and
Joel Ngugi. Also to be considered is lawyer Imaana Laibuta.
Law Society of Kenya President Allen Gichuhi says the practice in the past appointments took into account the need to
bring in a diversity of experience from judges, lawyers and members of the academia.
FAIRNESS
Approximately 40 per cent of appointments were reserved for members from private practice and academia. In the list
presented to the President, only one lawyer has been considered.
"In all fairness, while appreciating that the JSC has the discretion in the interview process, we recommend that all future
appointments to the Court of Appeal provide a ratio of appointments from the High Court, courts of equal status, and
from the bar," says the LSK boss, adding that this will ensure fairness and equity in the final appointments.
The lawyers' umbrella body has also requested the JSC to proceed and advertise the position of High Court judges,
taking into account the urgent need to replace the ones promoted, the vacancies that may arise from judges who may
retire in the coming years, and the need to improve access to justice.
Lawyers have expressed concern that some of the partly heard cases that are being handled by the 10 judges may be
adversely affected, if they will be required to start afresh, for whatever reasons.
BACKLOG
According to lawyer Danstan Omari, such a scenario will lead to an increase in the backlog of cases, currently a big
problem in the courts.
There are approximately 553,187 pending cases in the courts. The Judiciary currently has 127 judges, 494 magistrates
and 53 kadhis.
As it is, the entire justice needs of the 52 million Kenyans is in the hands of these 674 judicial officers.
Hypothetically, on average, each judicial officer has 821 cases to deal with if the matters were to be equally shared out.
(Judicial officers have approximately 230 working days a year to hear and determine cases after deducting weekends,
public holidays and leave.)
It would take an estimated four years to clear the pending cases, without any fresh cases being filed.
Removing 10 judges without an elaborate plan to replace them soonest only worsens the balancing act of having case
backlog minimised.
Concerns over backlog is also manifest given that the 10 judges cannot take new matters before they are sworn in, and it
is not known when.
Page 30
Promotion of 10 judges to cause rise in case backlog Sunday Nation (Kenya) August 11, 2019
"JSC has also not advertised for the 10 positions set to be left vacant. This is likely to take time because recruitment
process is tedious. It will be worse if the JSC does not have a budget for recruitment and wants to wait for the Treasury
to allocate funds," lawyer Omari observes.
RECRUITMENT
Lawyer Okweh Achiando says the recruitment may be delayed by, among other factors, the need to critique the list of
those shortlisted to replace the 10 high court judges.
Most of the judges who were promoted were presiding judges of the high court and were in-charge of administration.
The administrative aspect of the Judiciary and case management is likely to be slowed down when they leave.
"Administratively, some cases may suffer because there are disputes which emerge from time to time during hearing,
and require to be referred to the presiding judge of the division for directions," Mr Achiando said.
Lawyer Omari separately says that many of the judges who are to join the Court of Appeal are the most experienced,
and it will take time before new judges are able to catch up.
The matters which were being handled by the promoted judges will be allocated to other judges as the Judiciary plans to
recruit their replacement.
"There is going to be a shortage of 10 judges because they have moved to another court, and this will create a very big
shortfall. So, there is need to fast-track their replacement, at least to maintain the same workforce," activist Okiya
Omtatah said.
PROPER TRANSITION
Others see the possibility of miscarriages of justice in instances where a new judicial officer who did not have the
benefit of hearing the crucial witnesses or taking into account pertinent factors during trail has to proceed with the
cases.
"Without seeing the witness and taking into account their demeanour, the new judge is likely to render a judgment that
has not taken that aspect into consideration," adds lawyer Suyianka Lempaa.
He says the JSC should avoid such instances in future by organising the interviews in such a manner that those who are
to be promoted or transferred are allowed to conclude their cases before moving to their new station.
The second highest court after the Supreme Court currently has 19 judges, 11 short of the required 30. In addition, two
senior judges, Erastus Githinji and Alnashir Visram, are set to retire this year.
The country has Court of Appeal stations in Nairobi, where majority of the judges are stationed, Kisumu, Malindi and
Nyeri, which have three judges each.

Preaching retd judges seldom look back at their conduct

BYLINE: Dhananjay Mahapatra@timesgroup.com
SECTION: SPECIAL
LENGTH: 715 words
LEGALLY SPEAKING
All judges, who have illuminated jurisprudence with landmark judgments, have to retire. Post-retirement, most do not
carry the halo of their popular judgments. They prefer the quietness of retired life without attempting to bask in the
reflected glory of their judgments.
They prefer fading into the evening of their lives, eschewing the lure of pontification. They do not need appreciative
claps at public lectures by holding forth on 'judging the judges', a popular contemporaneous topic. They carry with
them, into their retirement, judicial discipline, rectitude and a sanguine disposition without forgetting the cardinal truth
- 'to err is human'.
They know that for every finger they point at judges or the judicial system, four will point back at them. Despite their
brilliance and fame earned through eloquent judgments, they are not popular with social activists or activist lawyers.
They seldom got invited to deliver lectures for they lack the ability to preach. But there are exceptions.
Justice Ajit Prakash Shah recently delivered a 25-page lecture on 'Judging Judges: Need for Accountability and
Transparency'. He was appointed as an additional judge in Bombay High Court by the P V Narasimha Rao government
(there was no collegium system then) on December 18, 1992, after consultation with Justice L M Sharma, who was
Chief Justice of India from November 18, 1992 to February 11, 1993.
In his lecture, Justice Shah was right when he said, "Judges do not have pre-set moral codes embedded in their brains
that dictate their behaviour the moment they sit on the bench. Indeed, they are as human as the lawyers, plaintiffs,
defendants, criminals, witnesses and police before them. To attribute a greater morality to them merely because of the
nature of their office is false and dangerous."
Justice Shah became chief justice of Madras HC on November 12, 2005, and on May 7, 2008, he was appointed CJ of
Delhi HC, the constitutional post from which he retired on February 12, 2010. As CJ of Delhi HC, he shot into fame
with his pioneering judgment in July 2009 decriminalising Section 377 of Indian Penal Code, which for more than a
century punished the LGBT community.
After the judgment, he became the most talked about judge in the country and a darling of social activists, activist
lawyers and, of course, the media. Despite the brilliant judgment and years as chief justice of two prominent HCs, he
failed to earn a berth in the Supreme Court as a judge.
By the time he entered the zone of consideration for selection as an SC judge, the collegium system was well entrenched
and appointments to the apex court were made collectively by the CJI and his four most senior colleagues.
The collegium considered his name a few times, but not favourably. We do not know whether it riled him. But the two
categories of activists lost no time in making a villain out of Justice S H Kapadia for opposing Justice Shah's elevation.
Activists circulated stories of alleged differences between Justices Kapadia and Shah from their Bombay HC days as the
reason for the former's opposition to Shah's elevation to the SC. Only a few knew what actually dissuaded the SC
Page 33
Preaching retd judges seldom look back at their conduct Times of India (Electronic Edition) August 10, 2019 Saturday
collegium from recommending Justice Shah's name to the government -- a four-page letter dated September 12, 2008,
by advocates of Madras HC giving details of allegations against Justice Shah and opposing his appointment as an SC
judge.
The advocates had sent the letter to then President Pratibha Patil, then Vice-President Hamid Ansari, then PM
Manmohan Singh, then CJI K G Balakrishnan and his colleagues Justices B N Agrawal, Ashok Bhan, Arijit Pasayat and
Kapadia.
What holds true for the 2008 complaint against Justice Shah is his own statement in the recent lecture, "Without passing
judgment on the truth or falsity of the allegations, I must admit there are certain stark facts that stand out which demand
consideration."
The 2008 complaint talked about a film actress and also about chamber hearing, instead of open court hearing, in a case
relating to a builders' lobby and how a property worth hundreds of crores of rupees was sold for a song. The advocates
had earnestly requested for "a proper in-house inquiry or proper investigation" into the allegations. Then CJI
Balakrishnan did not order an inquiry.

Castle Hills councilwoman's seat in limbo as politics continues to roil San

Antonio suburb
BYLINE: Scott Huddleston
SECTION: NEWS
LENGTH: 787 words
A high-profile case involving the botched swearing-in of an embattled Castle Hills councilwoman came to an abrupt
halt Friday when it was sent to a judge who lives in the suburb and has herself administered oaths to council members
there.
Retired Judge Martha Tanner declined to hear the case of Sylvia Gonzalez, who is seeking a new court order to retain
her council seat. Gonzalez was sworn in May 14 by Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar. But because Salazar is not
authorized to swear her in under Texas law, city officials have challenged her authority to serve.
Art Martinez de Vara, the attorney in the lawsuit filed by Gonzalez and two other council members against the city, said
he will likely seek a new temporary restraining order Tuesday -- the same day the council is scheduled to have a regular
meeting at 6:30 p.m.
A July 23 order signed by Judge Peter Sakai, allowing Gonzalez to remain in office but prohibiting the council from
discussing personnel matters, particularly related to City Manager Ryan Rapelye and City Attorney Marc Schnall,
expired this week.
Mayor JR Treviño said he hoped the council would be able to pass a tax rate Tuesday. After Councilman Clyde
McCormick's recent resignation because of health reasons, the council is down to four members, including Gonzalez.
Even if Gonzalez couldn't participate, however, the council could still meet; only three are required for a regular
meeting quorum.
On ExpressNews.com: Residents sue to remove council members
Gonzalez's lawsuit, which also lists Schnall as a defendant, was amended this week to include Treviño and City
Secretary Melissa L. Gonzalez as defendants. Martinez de Vara said they improperly took direction from Schnall at a
July 17 special council meeting to exclude Sylvia Gonzalez from the council roll call. That meeting was called to
declare her seat vacant and possibly appoint a replacement.
Although the councilwoman was sworn in again by Judge John D. Gabriel on July 16, Schnall said it was not within 30
days of her May 4 election, as prescribed by law. Because McCormick was absent at the July 17 meeting and Gonzalez
was not counted in the roll call, the council lacked the four members needed for a special meeting quorum. Treviño
announced that the meeting was canceled.
Martinez de Vara said a council majority, not Schnall, should have decided whether Gonzalez would be included in the
roll call.
"The city attorney can give recommendations, but he can't act as a governing body. And it's our opinion that is what
he's doing," Martinez de Vara said. "He has no authority to make a declaration."

Web Edition Articles (TX) August 9, 2019 Friday
Treviño said he followed Schnall's legal recommendations to ensure that Castle Hills complied with the law. The
concern over the validity of Gonzalez's oath of office, initially reported by a resident, was confirmed by the Texas
secretary of state's office and the Texas Municipal League, he said.
"I stand by what the city attorney told me," Treviño said Friday. "We're following the law."
The suburban community already is mired in legal disputes, including criminal charges against Gonzalez and
Councilwoman Lesley Wenger.
The two were arrested July 18. Gonzalez is charged with tampering with a government document, based on evidence
collected by Castle Hills police that she attempted to take residents' petitions from the mayor's papers at a May 22
council meeting.
Wenger, a co-plaintiff in Gonzalez's lawsuit against the city, is charged with tampering with evidence and fraudulent
possession of identification information she allegedly took from the personnel file of Rapelye, the city manager.
Louis D. Martinez, Gonzalez's lawyer in her criminal case, said the Bexar County district attorney's office has not
determined whether it will prosecute the two women.
"They're still evaluating whether they want to move forward with the cases," Martinez said.
On ExpressNews.com: Castle Hills mayor, council majority at odds on public comments
Meanwhile, six Castle Hills residents filed their own lawsuit this week calling for removal of the two women from
office, alleging incompetency and official misconduct, under the Texas Local Government Code.
Treviño said many of Castle Hills' 4,400 residents are frustrated and angry, wanting the city to focus on streets,
drainage and returning a stable environment to City Hall for paid staff and elected and appointed volunteers.
"We have a lot of people who are dedicated to the city. But everybody has their limits," Treviño said.

Chief Justice urges use of hearings for appeal court nominees, citing
transparency
BYLINE: SEAN FINE, Staff
SECTION: NEWS; Pg. A1
LENGTH: 929 words
DATELINE: OTTAWA
Supreme Court Chief Justice Richard Wagner says he would like to see public nomination hearings for appeal court
judges, much like the ones held for Canada's highest court.
"The days when judges were appointed without giving any explanations - where they came from, what they are doing,
how they do it - I think those days are gone," the Chief Justice said in an interview in his Ottawa office. "Why? Because
people need and deserve the information. There is no reason we should not give it to them. We have nothing to hide."
Such hearings have never been held in Canada below the Supreme Court, and at that level only since 2006, and
intermittently.
The Liberal government has been under fire this year over how it appoints judges to courts below the Supreme Court,
such as appeal courts and senior trial-level courts in the provinces.
The Globe and Mail reported in April that the government uses a private database called Liberalist to conduct
background checks on candidates for the bench, which allows it to see whether would-be judges have supported the
Liberal Party.
And last month, the Liberals were criticized after it was revealed that four of the six judges appointed to the federal
bench in New Brunswick in the previous eight months have links to Liberal cabinet minister Dominic LeBlanc, which
raised questions about the government's use of partisan criteria in its choices for the judiciary.
(One was appointed to an appeal court.)
While the Chief Justice's comments were not directed at the news reports - he declined to comment on them - they show
that a more transparent process has support at the highest level of the Canadian judiciary.
Justice Minister David Lametti said in an e-mail he is always open to good ideas to improve the judicial appointment
process.
The country's biggest lawyers' group is opposed, however.
"Parliamentary review of Court of Appeal nominees, with hearings that could become heavily politicized, could pose an
unacceptable threat to the independence of our judiciary," Raymond Adlington, president of the Canadian Bar
Association, representing 36,000 lawyers, said in an e-mail.
"We are opposed to any system which would expose judges to parliamentary criticism of their judgments, or cross-
examination on their beliefs or preferences or judicial opinions, or any measure which would give to Canadians the
mistaken impression that the judicial branch answers to the legislative branch."
Page 51
Chief Justice urges use of hearings for appeal court nominees, citing transparency The Globe and Mail (Canada) August
9, 2019 Friday
The United States has public nomination hearings for federal judicial appointments, both at the appeal and trial levels,
running hearings every second week in Washington, with four or five judges at a time. They have often been criticized
as partisan affairs.
"I wouldn't say they're circuslike," law professor Carl Tobias of the University of Richmond in Virginia said of the U.S.
hearings, "but I do think they are often very partisan. They've become increasingly politicized and polarized. But I think
there are some benefits to have nominees on the public record answering questions."
Federal appellate courts in that country hear about 50,000 cases a year, while the Supreme Court hears about 100, he
said. "So for us, the appellate courts are the Supreme Court for the area in which you live."
If Canada were to go ahead, it should try to ensure substantive content, rather than partisan bickering, dominates the
hearing, Prof. Tobias said. "Have rigorous background checks and rigorous questioning in the hearings and hopefully be
able to discern if someone is not qualified. It's very difficult to do." Chief Justice Wagner was chosen for his current role
by Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in December, 2017. Since then, he has launched several initiatives to promote
transparency, including publishing plain-language summaries of Supreme Court rulings and holding an annual news
conference.
There have been just more than 60 appeal court judges appointed by the Liberals, or roughly half of all appeal court
judges.
Chief Justice Wagner said it is probably not practical to hold such hearings for federally appointed trial-level courts,
because of the large number of appointments.
It was a Conservative prime minister, Stephen Harper, who established hearings for Supreme Court nominees. The
parliamentarians who assemble to ask questions cannot reject the nominee.
And he allowed no more than three days from his announcement of the nominee till the hearing date, making detailed
preparation and research difficult.
In the United States, by comparison, members of the Senate judiciary committee have five or six weeks to prepare for
Supreme Court nominees.
Just as the Canadian Bar Association is skeptical today of the Chief Justice's idea, the legal community was lukewarm to
the idea of nomination hearings for the Supreme Court.
Mr. Harper chose not to have hearings for his final three appointments, after complaining of a breach of confidentiality
in the appointment of Justice Marc Nadon in 2013. (The court eventually ruled that Justice Nadon lacked the required
legal qualifications, and while he had had a public hearing, he never joined the court.)
Mr. Trudeau opted in favour of a public hearing for all three of his Supreme Court appointments, including Nicholas
Kasirer of Quebec, whose public question-andanswer session was on July 25.
"The fact that the judges of the Supreme Court are presented to the public in Canada is a great thing," Chief Justice
Wagner said.
"It helps to increase the trust of the Canadian people."
As for hearings for appeal court judges, "the best way to avoid bias and prejudice is to inform the people."

LENGTH: 864 words
The marvelous Betty Winstanley died recently, just shy of her 98th birthday in Lancaster County. She died in the
captivity of a court-sanctioned guardianship that haunted her final years. Her life never should have ended this way.
Winstanley was an elegant, eloquent, remarkable woman. In an era when women were undereducated, she became a
trained chemist. She was married for 72 years to her loving and supportive husband and was the mother of his three
children. After Dr. Robert Winstanley died in 2014, Betty wanted to leave their retirement home in Pennsylvania and
find another place in Maryland, closer to her two youngest children. The estranged oldest son protested and took the
matter to the courtroom of Judge Jay Hoberg. Hoberg spent almost no time before declaring Betty to be "incapacitated."
He appointed strangers to take control of all of Betty's life decisions. The legal battle, which lasted nearly four years,
ate away at the $1.9 million nest egg the Winstanleys had worked so hard to amass. Betty hated every minute she was
under court control.
Hers was the first guardianship story I ever wrote about, back in early 2016. I almost couldn't believe that a judge could
declare an American citizen "incapacitated" and a "ward of the court" without so much as having a meaningful
conversation with the elder person. I soon learned it was a frequent occurrence.
In an instant, elders lose their civil rights and all ability to make their own decisions. Suddenly, they have no say on
how their money is spent, where they live, which doctors or friends they can see. And once the court decides the family
is "dysfunctional," fee-earning outsiders who make their living in this oftentimes questionable profession take control. If
family members question a guardian's actions, the court appointee can ban them from seeing their loved ones simply
because they "upset" the elder.
Since telling readers about Betty's plight, I have written tens of thousands of words exposing this shameful practice.
Several journalists have also written extensively on this court-sanctioned exploitation of senior citizens. Yet it still takes
place in courtrooms across the country, with a concentration on sunny, retirement-friendly states like Florida, California,
Nevada, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. Horrifying cases of court-ordered guardians mistreating their wards and
siphoning off massive amounts of estate money have also been reported in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, Alabama,
Oregon, Maine, Michigan and many more states. Honestly, I could write a horror story a day about what is happening to
elderly Americans victimized by the very system that is supposed to protect them.
How much power do these guardians have, and how bad does it get? Take the recent case of Rebecca Fierle, a Central
Florida guardian with more than 100 wards who allegedly placed "Do Not Resuscitate" orders on many of them without
their consent. Those wards apparently had no idea that their assisted living residence or hospital would not be allowed
to save their life in an emergency. In May, Navy veteran Steven Stryker's friends and family begged the probate judge to
lift his unauthorized DNR. Stryker, 75, died a few days later while doctors and nurses in a Tampa hospital helplessly
stood by.
Now, in a rare move, Circuit Court Judge Janet Thorpe has ordered Fierle removed from almost 100 cases. Judge
Thorpe found that Fierle had "abused her powers," with all those DNRs, and that she allegedly never told the court that
she was taking Medicaid payments in addition to her hourly guardian fees. What happens next to Fierle is anybody's
guess. Involuntary manslaughter charges, maybe?

OP-ED: Remembering Betty and other seniors caught up in the system Observer-Reporter (Washington, PA) 6 August
2019
That's how bad it gets. But still, local law enforcement, district attorneys and state attorneys general say they cannot act
because it is a civil, not a criminal, matter once a probate judge has ruled. Holding seniors against their will and
fraudulently taking their money sounds criminal to me.
Following Stryker's death, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis promised he would "vigorously" investigate the state's
guardianship system. Voters there have heard it all before. Florida, with the largest percentage of those over 65, has
been the scene of decades of complaints about corrupt guardians, yet not one unethical guardian has ever been
prosecuted. Governors, state legislators and members of Congress promise new, meaningful laws, but they never
materialize.
Betty Winstanley, a woman with whom I had many fascinating conversations, needed hearing aids. But, in my opinion,
she was not incapacitated. Steven Stryker, who moved to Florida to take care of his elderly parents, had trouble
swallowing, but he wasn't incapacitated either, according to his family and friends. The judges and guardians who failed
to act in their best interests should be ashamed. Betty, Steven and the countless other seniors caught up in this
demeaning system deserve better.
You know why judges, lawyers, guardians and those who operate residential senior facilities get away with mistreating
seniors this way? Because so few are ever prosecuted. It is way past time to change that.

Supreme Court tells Tri-Cities judges they can sue a county clerk. But they can't
bill taxpayers
BYLINE: Wendy Culverwell; Tri-City Herald
SECTION: local
LENGTH: 907 words
DATELINE: Pasco, WA
The seven judges of the Benton-Franklin Superior Court can sue a fellow elected official, but they can't appoint deputy
prosecutors and stick taxpayers with the bill.
In a rebuke to the Mid-Columbia bench, the Washington state Supreme Court ruled Thursday that the judges exceeded
their authority when they appointed a Tumwater attorney to represent them as a Franklin County deputy prosecutor.
Last year, the judges appointed attorney W. Dale Kamerrer to serve as a special deputy to Prosecutor Shawn Sant in
their paperless records lawsuit against the county's elected clerk, Mike Killian.
And then they ordered Franklin County to pay his bills.
"(W)hile the judges are free to sue the clerk, they must do so at their own expense," the unanimous ruling states.
Sant told the Herald on Thursday he was pleased by the decision. But he retreated from the bitter language that
animated the dispute a year ago.
In June 2018, for example, Franklin County court hearings were canceled when all seven judges recused themselves
from cases presented by Sant.
Judge Alex Ekstrom missed two morning dockets.
Sant said courthouse relations are amicable and professional. Ekstrom, he said, was simply acting out of an abundance
of caution to ensure there was no conflict.
"I don't think it's affected our working relationship during this process," Sant said.
The bicounty court administrator referred questions Thursday to Kamerrer, who was unavailable.
Supreme Court asked to intervene
The ruling upholds the authority of an independently elected prosecutor to determine who works in the office.
Sant asked the state Supreme Court to intervene, saying he alone decides who serves under him. The Washington
Association of Prosecuting Attorneys filed the appeal on his behalf. The case was argued Feb. 28.
Sant's Olympia attorney was unavailable.
Sant had previously appointed Kamerrer to the role on the expectation he would help the judges negotiate a truce with
Killian.
Instead, Kamerrer initiated a writ of mandamus or lawsuit against Killian.

Judge Bruce SpannerBenton-Franklin Superior Court Judge Bruce Spanner abused his judicial authority when he got
involved with a guardianship case from which he'd been disqualified, the state Commission on Judicial Conduct has
found.
Judges Bruce Spanner, Joe Burrowes, Alex Ekstrom, Cameron Mitchell, Carrie Runge, Jackie Shea Brown and Sam
Swanberg are listed as the plaintiffs.
"Mr. Kamerrer filed this lawsuit without prior permission from Sant," the ruling notes.
Sant ordered Kamerrer to cease further work and revoked his deputy status.
The judges restored it through a private administrative order. There was no public notice or hearing on the order, which
required Franklin County to spend public money on their legal bills.
Sant, backed by the Franklin County Commission, refused, asserting the county and its taxpayers are not obliged to
fund legal battles against themselves.
As of last summer, Kamerrer had billed the county a total of $13,252 for services before and after Sant revoked his
deputy status.
Judges arguments rejected
The Supreme Court rejected several arguments posed by the Benton-Franklin judges.
The judges said they had the authority to reappoint Kamerrer to the special deputy position through a nonpublic
administrative order.
The order was entered in chambers with no notice to the county commissioners or the prosecutor. There was no
opportunity to argue the case and the judges did not serve the affected parties with copies of their signed order.
Franklin County CourthouseA bitter court records dispute in Franklin County escalated Thursday when the Benton-
Franklin Superior Court bench temporarily recused itself from hearing cases presented by Prosecutor Shawn Sant.
Sant only learned of it when the county clerk brought him a copy, leading to a complaint the judges went behind his
back.
The high court said the matter should have been handled in a public fashion. It concerned the spending of public funds,
addressed legal questions and involved a matter in which the judges had an interest.
The judges also argued that Sant lacked the authority to revoke his appointment of Kamerrer. The high court swatted
that argument away as incorrect.
Washington law plainly gives prosecutors the authority to make and revoke appointments at their own pleasure, the
ruling notes.
A Kittitas County Superior Court judge uled in favor of the judges in the underlying dispute with Killian. Killian has
appealed to the state supreme court.
Killian clerk fileFranklin County Clerk Mike Killian is being sued by the seven Superior Court judges over his decision
not to maintain paper file folders. He started going paperless after getting a new electronic records management system
in November 2015.
That case centers on the implementation of the $50 million Odyssey electronic court record system in most Washington
counties, including both Benton and Franklin.
Franklin County was an early adopter. Killian announced Franklin County would be paperless by 2018, noting that the
electronic system was working perfectly and no one had requested paper records.
The judges disagreed and ordered Killian to maintain paper files.
Killian, an elected official, refused, saying he wasn't funded to do so. Benton County Clerk Josie Delvin is not involved
in the case.

Judge Rau leaving bench early

BYLINE: Chris Palmer STAFF WRITER
SECTION: NEWS; Pg. 12
LENGTH: 579 words
APHILADELPHIA Common Pleas Court judge who has spent nearly two decades on the bench plans to step down in
October, two years before the end of her 10-year term.
Lisa M. Rau, 59, appointed in 2001 by Gov. Tom Ridge, did not specify what she planned to do next, saying only in a
resignation letter to Gov. Tom Wolf that she was ready "to move on to my next adventure."
"There has not been a single day as judge over the last 18-plus years when I did not appreciate the responsibility that
Philadelphians gave me to serve such a vital role in our justice system," Rau wrote in her letter, sent Monday.
In emails with The Inquirer this week, Rau, who is married to Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, declined to
elaborate, saying she was preoccupied by a complex and time-consuming mediation. She said aformal announcement
would be made in the future.
She added that her decision and its timing were not connected to the career or aspirations of her husband, who has
received national attention for his efforts to reduce incarceration and transform the prosecutor's office. She has spent
most of her tenure presiding over civil cases, not criminal matters.
Earlier this week, after the Legal Intelligencer first reported the news of Rau's impending departure, Krasner
congratulated his wife on Twitter.
In an interview Friday, Krasner said that Rau, to whom he has been married for 30 years, "is an incredibly accomplished
woman, mother, lawyer, and judge." He called her "the finest insurgent political candidate I ever saw when she ran for
judge," and said she became "widely regarded as the best judge in the Philadelphia court system at resolving cases."
A former Peace Corps volunteer in Thailand and a graduate of Stanford Law School, Rau worked as a civil rights
attorney before being appointed to the bench in 2001. She was elected to a10-year term later that year and reelected in
2011. In her letter to Wolf, she said she spent nearly five years supervising "every major civil case filed in Philadelphia's
Common Pleas Court during acalendar year, where approximately 6,000 to 7,000 such cases are filed annually."
In 2002, while overseeing criminal matters, Rau was accused by then-District Attorney Lynne M. Abraham of being
anti-police and disrespectful to prosecutors. The city's judges responded by voting to file a formal complaint accusing
Abraham of unethical conduct, and the dispute was resolved privately.
Court spokesperson Marty O'Rourke said Fridaythatinrecentmonths,fourotherjudges - Amanda Cooperman, Rosalyn
Robinson, M. Teresa Sarmina, and John M. Younge - stepped down before the end of theirterms.
Replacements have to be filled via appointment, with Wolf, aDemocrat, nominating candidates to be voted on by the
state Senate, which is controlled by Republicans. Appointees serve until the end of the departed judge's original term.
J.J. Abbott, Wolf's spokesperson, said that the governor had not nominated any potential replacements, but that his
office would begin discussing those moves with legislators when they return to Harrisburg this fall.

Judge Rau leaving bench early The Philadelphia Daily News August 11, 2019 Sunday
Bob Brady, chairman of the city's Democratic Party, said Friday that the court also has six vacancies that will be filled
when voters head to the polls in November. Brady said churn on the bench is "not abnormal at all," due to factors
including voluntary departures and retirements mandated for judges who turn 75.
The court has 83 judges and seven senior judges, O'Rourke said. Judges are paid $183,184.
