Endorsed By
Elect Mary S. Trew for 9th Subcircuit Judge! (Additional Vacancy A).
Domestic Violence Legal Clinic - Executive Director - Implemented court based legal clinic.
100% favorable evaluation ratings from all bar associations.
28-year veteran litigator in domestic relations law and criminal defense.
Goals if elected:
From my own perspective as a legal service provider, one of the greatest challenges lies in providing equal access to the legal system for all individuals. The legal needs of many people are not being met, and this is exacerbated when an individual belongs to a "marginalized" group. Lack of resources may prevent access, but once access is obtained, a marginalized individual may then have to contend with systemic prejudice, made all the worse by its often insidious nature. Each judge, therefore, has the responsibility to "set the tone" that bias of any sort will not be tolerated in the courtroom. Practicing law in the field of public interest throughout my career has enabled me to become more empathetic with others not as fortunate. As a result, I am deeply committed to equal access and treatment within the legal system, and would bring such a commitment to the bench if given that opportunity.
