Boston — Governor Maura T. Healey today nominated Jessica Dubin, Alexandra Flanders, Mikalen Howe, and Carla Salvucci as Associate Justices to the Probate and Family Court. The nominees will now be considered by the Governor's Council for confirmation.
"The Probate and Family Court plays an essential role in providing justice for families across the state, and I'm confident that these distinguished attorneys will make strong additions to the bench," said Governor Healey. "I'm proud to nominate them and appreciate the Governor's Council's consideration."
"These nominees are incredibly talented and experienced, and they will add tremendous value to our Probate and Family Court," said Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll. "I am excited to work with the Governor's Council to move these nominees forward to serve the people of Massachusetts."
The Probate and Family Court Department handles court matters that involve families and children, like divorce, child support, and wills. The Probate and Family Court Department's mission is to deliver timely justice to the public by providing equal access to a fair, equitable, and efficient forum to solve family and probate legal matters and to help and protect all individuals, families, and children impartially and respectfully.
Earlier this term, Governor Healey appointed Manisha Bhatt, Bernadette Stark and Michelle Yee to serve as Associate Justices of the Probate and Family Court. Governor Healey also appointed Stephanie L. Everett, Esq. to serve as the Suffolk Register of Probate, and Mark Ames to serve as Hampshire Register of Probate.
