    Could NOT have appointed a better qualified candidate for this position. Experience in one line of law is not the only qualification for a good judge. I worked for Mr. Young for several years at a different law firm. He is compassionate, fair, hard working, very intelligent, gentile, maintains control, is a great time manager, eloquent in speech and written expression. He respects humanity and understands the fragility of mankind. Best wishes to Mr. Young.

    Great, another judge without any criminal case experience. According to the Clark Partington website, it says he has been the head attorney in 70 criminal cases as a State attorney. That would be a good 2 days work! This guy would be a good Circuit Court judge., not a County Court judge ,who’s main duties are criminal cases! Far more qualified candidates were presented to the Governor to choose from.
