Governor Baker Nominates Dana S. Doyle as Associate Justice of the Probate and Family Court

Picture
BOSTON — Today, Governor Charlie Baker announced the nomination of Dana S. Doyle as Associate Justice of the Probate and Family Court. Attorney Doyle has more than 22 years of legal experience.
 
“I am pleased to nominate this experienced attorney who has served her community well and with distinction throughout her career,” said Governor Charlie Baker. “Attorney Doyle’s compassion and understanding of the issues before the Probate and Family Court will make her an invaluable and fair arbiter for the Commonwealth’s families.”
 
“Attorney Doyle’s deep understanding of the law through practice, teaching and activity within her community has prepared her to address the issues that will come before the Probate and Family Court,” said Lt. Governor Karyn Polito. “I look forward to the Governor’s Council’s review.”
 
The Probate and Family Court Department has jurisdiction over family-related and probate matters such as divorce, paternity, child support, custody, parenting time, adoption, termination of parental rights, abuse prevention and wills, estates, trusts, guardianships, conservatorships, and changes of name. The Probate and Family Court has over 40 judges, including Chief Justice John D. Casey. If confirmed by the Governor’s Council, Attorney Doyle will fill​ Judge Elizabeth Crawford's seat.
 
For more information on the Probate & Family Court, please visit their homepage.
 
Judicial nominations are subject to the advice and consent of the Governor’s Council. Applicants for judicial openings are reviewed by the Judicial Nominating Commission (JNC) and recommended to the governor. Governor Baker established the JNC in February 2015 pursuant to Executive Order 558, a non-partisan, non-political Commission composed of volunteers from a cross-section of the Commonwealth's diverse population to screen judicial applications. Twenty-one members were later appointed to the JNC in April 2015.
