From VBA Board of Managers member Amy Davis,
please see highlights and pictures from the swearing-in ceremony for Judge Lisa
Warren:
Judge Grearson introduced five speakers on
behalf of Lisa Warren who all spoke to a crowded courtroom in Caledonia
County. The speakers included former judges, prosecutors, police officers, and
defense attorneys. Lisa's appointment comes with the support of the entire
community, including one of her victim’s advocates who made the incredible cake.
Judge Warren's husband, two daughters, and new granddaughter were in
attendance. Before the ceremony, she told Deb Bucknam, who mentored her as she
read for the law, that she remembered the day telling Deb that she never wanted
to go to court! US Attorney Christina Nolan commented about how Lisa not only
took on the hard cases, but she won them, too. The US Attorney's office offered
to take a human trafficking case off her hands, and Lisa responded, "No
I've got it." Judge Warren's work ethic and integrity will follow her to the
bench, and local practitioners and community members cannot wait for her to be
back in the Kingdom.
