Gonzaga Grad Kevin McCann runs for Judge in Pierce County
There is nothing to make a lawyer feel like he is getting old then when his classmates from law school start donning black robes. And for me, that classmate is Kevin McCann. 
Check out his website Kevin McCann for District Court Judge, or “like” his Facebook site here. Kevin was one of those lawyers who was a good guy even when he was in law school. (For 80% of my law school class, I would support their opponent). I haven’t seen him much since we graduated, but he has been kicking butt over in Pierce County as a deputy prosecutor handling major felonies. And by “major” I mean murder, robberies and rapes etc. When lawyers get promoted into such positions of doing major felonies, they often get rusty on the work of District Court. But McCann has kept active in misdemeanor work by working as a judge pro-tem in courts such as the Olympia and Federal Way municipal courts.
So anyway those are my words of support. But also from a bloggers point of view you have to admit that McCann has a pretty impressive internet presence. For example, look at his Facebook Fan Site. McCann is a political newcomer, and yet already he has more FB fans (506) than Supreme Court incumbant Jim Johnson (397) and Supreme Court candidate Charlie Wiggins (327). The only judicial candidate that seems to have more FB supporters is Justice Sanders.
For those of you interested in Facebook fan sites for local candidates in Eastern Washington, check out the sites for Tom Brown, Dennis Morgan, Rick Weber. Show your support! Also, I have blogged in the past about the Spokane Prosecutors race. More on that next week.

- Mock Trial Questions Answered Here! What do you need to know? January 14, 2012I am not sure what to write about next.

- Mock Trial Closing Arguments for the Defense Attorney October 3, 2011As you probably have already learned, the defense attorney delivers his or her closing argument after the prosecutor speaks. In addition, since the prosecutor has the burden of proof, he or she is allowed to speak again after the defense counsel speaks. The mock trial defense lawyer only has one opportunity to speak. Unlike a […]
- Mock Trial Closing Arguments for Prosecution September 14, 2011So you are nearing the end of your mock trial, and now it is time for you to do your closing argument. Hopefully you have given this a little thought before it is your turn to get up and speak. Unlike an opening statement, which can be written entirely in advance, the closing argument has […]
Kevin WOULD make a good judge, and there is a lot to be said for a good temperament. Its easy to get a fair shake in front of a judge when he or she is having a good day. But for a judge to sit there day after day, and to always be fair and consistent is not easy, and the public doesn’t always understand the need for that quality in a judicial candidate. I have had to work in front of judges who sigh, roll the eyes, and seem to worry more about their 4 p.m. tee-time then the case before them.
Deborah Stevens is on the Supreme Court Bench – it makes one feel old indeed.
