BOSTON — Today, Governor Charlie Baker nominated Kimberly Moses Smith as Associate Justice of the Probate and Family Court. Attorney Moses Smith has nearly 25 years of legal experience.
"The wide variety of cases that Attorney Moses Smith has tried over her decades practicing family law have prepared her well to serve as an Associate Justice of the Probate and Family Court," said Governor Charlie Baker. "I am pleased to submit this qualified candidate to the Governor's Council for their advice and consent."
“Throughout her career, Attorney Moses Smith has demonstrated a commitment to her community and the families of the Commonwealth," said Lt. Governor Karyn Polito. "If confirmed by the Governor's Council, I am confident that she will continue to serve the Commonwealth as an Associate Justice of the Probate and Family Court."
