Governor Baker Nominates Attorneys Jason Yu-Ting Chan and Nicole A. Colby Longton as Associate Justices of the District Court

Picture
BOSTON – Today, Governor Baker nominated Attorneys Jason Yu-Ting Chan and Nicole A. Colby Longton as Associate Justices of the District Court.
 
“With the addition of Attorneys Jason Yu-Ting Chan and Nicole A. Colby Longton as Associate Justices of the District Court, Massachusetts will receive two candidates well-suited for the judiciary,” said Governor Charlie Baker. “We are proud to submit their nominations for consideration.”
 
“Attorneys Chan and Longton both possess years of courtroom experience and extensive community service that makes them well-qualified candidates for the District Court,” said Lt. Governor Karyn Polito. “I am pleased to submit these nominations to the Governor’s Council for their advice and consent.”


The District Court hears a wide range of criminal, civil, housing, juvenile, mental health, and other types of cases. District Court criminal jurisdiction extends to all felonies punishable by a sentence up to five years, and many other specific felonies with greater potential penalties; all misdemeanors; and all violations of city and town ordinances and by-laws. The District Court is located in 62 courts across the Commonwealth.
 
For more information about the District Court, 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.
