Judge Reagin

 Judge Reagin was a criminal defense attorney in Harris County who was well known for working hard and writing successful appeals.  She was also the Editor of a local publication called The Defender.  The Defender is a local publication that deals with issues at the criminal courthouse and other criminal justice related issues.


I am blogging about this topic because it was so refreshing.  The audience contained prosecutors, defense attorney, current county court and district court  judges, and former judges.  There were feelings of respect and optimism in the audience regarding the prospect of Judge Reagin's judicial career.

When Judge Reagin gave her acceptance speech, she stated that maintaining our goals of a safe community and the promises made to us by our constitution are not mutually exclusive.  These two desired principles can coexist.  Nobody likes criminals.  At the same time, nobody likes an over-powering, corrupt police force, district attorney's office, or elected judge.

It appears that Judge Reagin intends to run her court as the Founders intended for courts to be conducted.  I doubt she will engage in unethical conduct to speed up her docket such as revoke people's bonds for not hiring a lawyer or being two minutes late to court.

As random as judicial elections can be with an uniformed electorate and unpublicized races, I have to say that somehow Harris County voters got this one right.
