  • Judge Matheson stepping down after distinguished career

    April 30 is shaping up to be a monumental day for Judge Craig Matheson.

    Not only will he pass the proverbial gavel to his successor as president of the Superior Court Judges Association of Washington, but Benton-Franklin Superior Court's longest-serving judge also will permanently swap his black robe for a pair of aviator glasses, and bid farewell to what many in the legal community are calling a distinguished and balanced career.

    Matheson will retire after a total 26 years on the bench -- 20 in Superior Court and six prior to that with Benton County District Court.

  • Sal Mendoza chosen as new Superior Court judge

    Sal Mendoza Jr. will become the first Hispanic member of the Benton-Franklin Superior Court bench. He will replace Judge Craig Matheson, who is retiring April 30 after serving 26 years.

  • New judge sworn in on Benton-Franklin Superior Court

    Looking out over a packed courtroom Monday, newly sworn-in Judge Sal Mendoza Jr. said he felt “completely overwhelmed.”Before an audience, including Gov. Jay Inslee, three state Supreme Court justices and numerous elected officials, Judge Carrie Runge administered the oath to Mendoza, making him the first Latino judge on the Benton-Franklin Superior Court bench. His wife, Mia, held the Bible, and his children, Carmen, Danny and Anthony stood nearby.

    Later, his mom, Maria, suited up the new judge in his black robe.

    “Now I have the privilege of serving in a different capacity,” he said after taking a seat on the bench next to Runge. “A capacity where you share your values, where respect means something. Where personal responsibility actually does mean something. Those are the values that I have.”

  • Inslee signs bill creating new Benton-Franklin judgeship

    Gov. Jay Inslee signed a bill Monday that paves the way to add another judicial position in Benton-Franklin Superior Court.

    "There's been a sizable increase in population in these counties, which has resulted in more crime and civil action," Inslee told an audience gathered for the swearing in of new Judge Sal Mendoza Jr.

    Now that House Bill 1175 has been signed, Benton and Franklin counties still need to find a way to pay for the judgeship. Officials have said the counties likely won't have a spot in their budgets until at least 2014, and possibly 2015.

  • Tri-Citians work to keep federal judge position in Richland

    Most people will never see the inside of a federal courtroom. But local advocates are raising the question, "What if someone needs it, and it isn't there?"

    With Richland-based federal Judge Edward Shea switching to senior status -- a sort of semi-retirement that allows him to hear fewer cases -- in June, Tri-City leaders are concerned that his replacement could end up based in Yakima or Spokane.

    And that would mean a lot of Mid-Columbians would have no access to legal justice, one Kennewick attorney said.
