Interview with Commissioner Grant Barrett - candidate for Superior Court Judge Dept 1



Judicial candidate questions:

Name and dept.
Grant Barrett
Superior Court Judge, Dept. 1

Why are you running for Superior Court Judge?
Both long-serving judges are retiring, and Calaveras County needs experienced judges on the bench.  I offer the experience our court needs.  I have been on the bench deciding cases in Calaveras County since 2001.  I enjoy the challenge of being a judge presiding over a varied court calendar including criminal, civil, family, probate, and juvenile matters.  I am prepared to continue my service to Calaveras County for decades to come.

What qualifies you for the position you seek?
The judges have spent the last decade preparing me to take on the responsibilities of the office of Superior Court Judge.  They have supervised and guided me in both the procedures and art of judging.  I am intimately familiar with all facets of our court’s operations including courtroom operations, document processing and retention, security, human resources, and interfacing with our justice system partners.  I have hundreds of hours of specialized judicial training in criminal, civil, family, probate, and juvenile proceedings.  I am ready, willing, and able to take on all the responsibilities of the office.

What is your current occupation and the duties of that position?
I currently am employed by Calaveras Superior Court as both Court Commissioner and Research Attorney.  As Court Commissioner I sit as a judge and decide contested matters in civil and family, hearings, settlement conferences, and trials.  As research attorney for the court, all complex criminal and civil matters are referred to me to research the law, analyze the admissible evidence, recommend rulings, and work directly with the judges preparing decisions.  Additionally, I provide legal advice to management on court operations, contracts, accounts receivable and payable, and human resources.
