Deputy Magistrate

I am now a judicial officer for the State of Alaska. My deputy magistrate certification arrived last week while I was out of town, and I was sworn in today by Judge Torrisi.

I just have to do five hearings while supervised by a judge or magistrate and then I'll be doing weekend arraignments by myself once a month.

A year out of law school and I'm working as a judge before I've even tried a case.

Not bad.
