Arizona's judiciary has gained a new member with the appointment of Neil Sherman to the Coconino County Superior Court. The announcement came from Governor Katie Hobbs, who highlighted Sherman's extensive legal career, particularly in family law, when speaking about the qualifications that he brings to the bench. Sherman, having spent nearly a decade in private practice, moves into the position previously held by Judge Cathleen Brown Nichols who opted for retirement. His practice mainly revolved around matters about family, representing the Department of Child Safety in dependency issues during his tenure at the Arizona Attorney General’s Office.
"Neil Sherman has demonstrated a commitment to working collaboratively on behalf of Arizona children and families throughout his legal career," said Governor Katie Hobbs, as stated by the Office of the Governor. Having been an advocate for the vulnerable in our society, Hobbs finds Sherman's professional history and dedication to be key assets that he will contribute to the Coconino County Superior Court moving forward.
Sherman's predecessor, Judge Cathleen Brown Nichols, leaves behind a legacy on the bench, creating a void that the newly appointed Sherman is expected to fill with the same level of integrity and justice. The Governor's Office has assured the public that Sherman's experience with family law will serve him well in addressing the array of cases that come before the Superior Court.
