Interview with Tim Healy, candidate for Superior Court Judge Dept 2

Judicial candidate questions:

Name and dept. 

– Tim Healy, Superior Court Judge in Department 2

Why are you running for Superior Court Judge?

 – I want to continue my service to the People of the State of California by brining my extensive experience in the Courtroom practicing Law home to Calaveras County.  I am the only candidate for Department 2 who has dedicated my professional career to public safety, victim’s rights and seeking equal justice for everyone as a Criminal Prosecutor.  When I saw Gov. Jerry Brown had made a political appointment of my opponent, as a resident of Calaveras County for the previous 11 years (now 12) and an attorney, I believed Calaveras County’s newest Judge should have been the most qualified based upon his Courtroom Experience practicing the law and his experiences as an attorney.  I have extensive courtroom experience that is simply unmatched by my opponent.  I want Calaveras County to have a choice for our next Judge in Department 2. 

What qualifies you for the position you seek? 

– I am the only candidate for Department 2 who has practiced law in the Courtroom within the past 15 years.  I am the only candidate for Department 2 who has EVER practiced Criminal Law in the Courtroom.  Having earned my undergraduate degree in History from Duke University in 1986, I received my Law Degree from the University of the Pacific’s McGeorge School of Law in 2000.  With over 25 years of private business sector and legal experience, I have been a Criminal Prosecutor and a member of the California State Bar Association for nearly 14 years.  I have personally handled over 1000 cases as the only attorney assigned; and, I have helped prosecute over 30,000 cases during my career. I have also used my expertise to teach students at Humphrys Law School in Stockton.

The majority of cases currently being heard in Calaveras Courts are criminal cases. During 2013 there were approximately 1500 adult misdemeanor and felony cases filed in Calaveras Courts.  In Calaveras we do not have a “premises liability” problem or a “breach of contract problem”, we have a Crime problem.  I am the only candidate who has worked closely with victims of violent crime, parolees, and probationers; this is not the type of experience you gain from sitting behind a desk – you have to be in the Courtroom practicing Law.  In only two years as a charging deputy, I reviewed well over 10,000 police reports in order to determine whether charges should be filed.  I am the only candidate for Department 2 who has this experience.  It will take my opponent 14 years to gain the Criminal Law experience and knowledge I already have as a prosecutor. 

What is your current occupation and the duties of that position? 

– I am currently the head attorney for the San Joaquin County’s Child Abduction Unit.  This is a unique assignment for a Criminal Prosecutor as we not only work as a Deputy District Attorney, we also work for the Judges of the Superior Court.  More specifically, we assist the Family Law Judges by helping to ensure their Family Law orders regarding custody and visitation are followed by both parents.  We are authorized by law to utilize both civil and criminal law to fulfill our duties.  Therefore, not only must we be experts in Criminal Law but we must also develop an expertise in Civil, Family and International Law, including the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (which is in force in all but one of the 50 States) and the 1988 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction.  We also assist parents who are trying to exercise their rights to see their children when the other parent denies them that right, even when there is no court order regarding visitation in place.  Child Abduction Units also assist parents by recovering abducted children regardless whether the children are taken to another county, state or foreign country.  This position has given me the distinct honor of helping to recover abducted children from places like Mexico, Israel, Taiwan and the Ukraine as well as numerous other places around the US.

These duties also involve: reviewing police reports, meeting with investigators and parents, attending Family Law Court proceedings, helping to write protective custody warrants for the return of abducted children, coordinating with the U.S. Department of State, California State Attorney General’s Office and Law Enforcement around the Country and World.  I also file criminal complaints, appear in Criminal Court and handle every aspect of the prosecution of criminal cases involving child abduction.
