Judicial Candidate Forum

The "You Be The Judge" judicial candidate forum is an opportunity to meet and speak with county, district and
probate court candidates.  It is a chance for citizens to ask questions, voice their concerns and learn about the
candidates.  
The election of judges and the decisions they make have profound effects on our families and community even if
we do not personally have a case before the court.  This is your chance to meet and speak with judicial
candidates.  Know who you are voting for to make decisions in our community about family law issues, divorce,
child support, custody, protective orders, discrimination, elderly abuse, public safety and more.   
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.  
Judges are a vital link in dealing with abuse that occurs within families.  For
this reason, we would like to thank the candidates for taking the time to fill out
the questionnaire and attending this event.
