I am running as a Democratic Candidate for Governor's Council, Second District.

The Council is composed of the Lieutenant Governor (4-year term) and eight councilors elected from councilor districts (2-year terms); provides advice and consent in judicial appointments, treasury warrants, appointments of constitutional officers if a vacancy occurs when the legislature is not in session; certifies the results of statewide elections; provides advice in pardons and advice and consent in the appointment of notaries public and justices of the peace.

Judges play an extremely important role in our Commonwealth and in the lives of its citizens. I have over 30 years of experience as a trial lawyer, which provides me with a keen sense of what makes a good judge. I have appeared in every District Court in the Commonwealth, and have tried cases in each of the Massachusetts Superior Courts. I have also argued cases before the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts and the Massachusetts Court of Appeals. I have over 7000 appearances before judges and clerk magistrates. Such extensive exposure to the various courts has afforded me a unique expertise with respect to our judicial system and the inner-workings of Massachusetts courts that sets me apart from other candidates.

I would very much appreciate your vote on Primary Day, Tuesday September 16th, 2008.

Sincerely, Bob Jubinville
