Judge John Adams at Principle over Politics Meeting

Saw this in the OCGOP's calendar:



Saturday, 3/15/08

9:00 AM

Special Event


Guest: Judge John Adams

Where: Balboa Bay Club, Newport Beach

Choosing judges in an election seems to be a hit or miss proposition. Should it be the one at the top of the list? The one with the most interesting name? Most people have little knowledge about judicial candidates.. Principles Over Politics's monthly breakfast on March 15, will host local Judge John Adams at the Balboa Bay Club, Newport Beach at 9:00am. Because we have several judicial elections coming up in various Orange County courts, POP wanted to give locals the opportunity to better understand this often little known group of offices. Judge Adams will discuss the significance of choosing the right judges and how to evaluate judicial candidates. He will also talk about the growing movement to strip voters of any choice at all in the selection of judges. Cost of the event is $25 plus parking. Make reservations at 949 644-7094 or email inbalboa@roadrunner.com.



Judge Adams is a very, very interesting guy, so his speech should be very, very entertaining.



But keep two things in mind when listening to what he has to say...



1. He has already endorsed some judicial candidates, so when he speaks about evaluating and choosing the right judges, he has already done so and will definitely (and probably very obviously) be leaning toward certain candidates.



2. He's a very, very interesting guy.



But he's also a great guy and a real asset up on the bench (except that he once told me that if I ever showed up in his courtroom, he's throw the book at me, just to make sure people know that he doesn't give any special favors to his Republican friends...and to make an example out of me...)



Spend the $25 (plus parking) and go see him speak.
