Peter Forman Biography
|
With the
recent announcement by County Court Judge Gerald V.
Hayes that he will not seek re-election this fall, I
have decided to seek the nomination of the
Republican, Conservative and Independence Parties
for the position of Dutchess County Court Judge.
County Court is where all indictments or felony
complaints are adjudicated. I started my career as a
prosecutor in the Dutchess County District
Attorney's Office in 1983. During my 3 1/2 years in
that office I served as a Special Prosecutor for
DWIs and tried several felony cases as part of a
repeat felony offender program that was funded by
the federal government. In 1993, I was appointed by
County Court Judge Thomas J. Dolan to be his law
clerk. In that capacity, I was responsible for
researching questions of law, drafting decisions and
preparing jury instructions. I held that position
until I started on the bench in Family Court in
1999.
I am running for the position of Dutchess County
Court Judge because I believe that I have the
qualifications and experience that voters expect for
a member of the judiciary in the area of criminal
law.
I plan
to campaign in every town , village and city in
Dutchess County in the coming months. Your support,
in whatever form, is much appreciated.
Very truly yours,
Peter M. Forman
Dutchess County Family Court Judge |
