Following today's announcement that Lewis H. 'Harry' Spence has been named
civilian Court Administrator by the Supreme Judicial Court, Boston Bar
Association President Lisa C. Goodheart applauded the process that resulted in
his appointment.
"The importance of this appointment is such that the integrity and
thoroughness of the selection process was critical," said Goodheart. "Sound
management of our state courts is essential to the fair, efficient and cost
effective administration of justice. We look forward to working with Harry
Spence as he fulfills this important role in consultation with the Chief Justice
of the Trial Court. A search committee chaired by Michael B. Keating worked
tirelessly to get us where we are today, and we can’t thank Mike and his
committee members enough for their hard work."
