Special to The Advocate
Governor Maura T. Healey has appointed local Attorney Gerry D’Ambrosio of D’Ambrosio LLP to the Judicial Nominating Commission. The distinguished, non-partisan Commission advises the Governor on the nomination and appointment of the Commonwealth’s judicial officers. “Judicial officers play a critical role in shaping the lives of Massachusetts residents. Our goal is to ensure that those serving on our courts are committed to justice and equality, and that they are representative of the vibrant, diverse communities they serve,” said Governor Healey in a press release. “We’re proud to be appointing this experienced, dedicated group to the Judicial Nominating Commission, who I know I can count on to advise me on nominating the best judges to serve the people of Massachusetts.”
D’Ambrosio is honored to join these talented members of the Commission that will perform due diligence to ensure that judicial candidates possess those qualities essential to serving on the state’s courts, such as integrity and good judgement. “I started my legal career as an attorney nearly thirty years ago and have always been passionate about fairness, equality, and diversity in the judiciary,” D’Ambrosio said. “I look forward to reentering public service and assisting the Governor in her selection of judges and other judicial officers. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve.”
