He also has great respect for the austere traditions of the judiciary. When he holds court in the Salt Lake City County Building, he will wear the traditional robes, though some judges do not do so nowadays. As we drew our discussion to a close, Scott pointed out a painting on the wall of his law office. It was a water color, by Paysons Nancy Littlefield, of the old mill near Memorial Park. Scott had commissioned Nancy to do the painting. On the old silo that stands next to the mill, Nancy has faithfully reproduced some graffiti put there by some of Scotts friends back in high school days. It was put there, Scott' said, during high school election time by some of the students running for Debbi Palmer of Lehi and Second Attendant Gina Vest of Payson. ship Pageant will be held Tuesday evening, August 17, 1982 at 8:00 p.m. in the Mountain View High School Auditorium, 665 West Center, Orem.

So Scott ScOtt Daniels, formerly of Payson, has been named by Governor Matheson to become a District Judge. by Michael Olson While attending Payson High in the mid sixties, we used to call Scott Daniels Stoke." I dont know why. Neil Spencer still does call him Stoke. But now well have to call him Your Honor. Scott was just appointed to be a District Judge for the Third District Court of the State of Utah. The son of Jack and Jewal Daniels of Payson, Scott went on from the Payson Schools, graduating from Payson High in 1966, to obtain a degree in Political Science at Brigham Young University, and finally a Juris Doctorate Degree from the University of Utah in 1975. For seven years he has been an associate with Snow, Christensen, and Martinueau in Salt Lake. The firm just bought and has remodeled the interior of the old Newhouse building in downtown Salt Lake. It was in that overwhelming edifice that we stopped fo chat with him the other day. Due to some recent disagreements in State Government concerning legislative powers to approve judicial appointees, Scotts appointment is in a temporary limbo. So he is still with his law firm until thats all settled. When he takes his new position, he will be the youngest active judge in Here, hes shown in his law office as he was catching up on some paper work on a recent Saturday afternoon. Judicial System, at And he was appointed thirty-four- . along with three other relatively young men to the State Judiciary by Governor Scott Matheson. Scott explained to us that there are four levels in the State Judiciary. The State Supreme Court serves mostly as an appellate court. The District Courts, of which there are seven in Utah, hear cases involving claims for damages above $5000, or more serious criminal cases. The Third District includes Salt Lake, Tooele, and Summit Counties and is the largest district in the state, with fourteen judges. (There are fewer than thirty District Judges in the entire state.) Circuit Courts handle cases involving claims of less than $5000 and have limited jurisdiction. They handle many criminal cases, and violations of city ordinances. (Many criminal cases are also violations of city ordinances Scott pointed out.) The Justice of the Peace Courts are the more local courts and at the bottom of the ladder in the State Judiciary system. We asked Scott what qualifications he had that made him a suitable candidate for his appointment. He said most of his work as an attorney has been trial work. He has represented numerous defendants in the State personal injury litigation, civil rights litigation, and medical malpractice suits. He noted that his law firm at one time handled nearly all the medical malpractice defenses in the will carry that little momento of his Payson heritage into the chambers of the Third District Court. Scotts wife is also a Payson native, Becky (Walker) Daniels is the daughter of Earl and Colleen Walker of Payson. Scott and Becky have three children: Amy, 12; Brigham, 9; and Justin, 6.

Commissioner Pinegar as well as other political figures will be available for a good dunking during the fair in Spanish Fork next week. state. Scott himself has defended such entities as the University of Utah Medical Center, Salt Lake City, Weber County, Ogden City, and even Payson City. He represented the Daily Utah Chronicle of the University of Utah in a case that involved Attorney General Bob Hansen a couple years ago. That trial experience will be important. As a District Judge, he will be presiding over trial cases and will have the inside experience of having been Counsel himself. Of course, when he becomes judge officially, he will sever all professional ties with his present law firm and will not hear cases involving representation from the firm for awhile. Scott is positive about becoming a judge. He does feel some regret about leaving the more lucrative position he has had as a trial lawyer, mainly because he enjoys the drama of the courtroom, taking an active .part in the argumentation. Its a little like the difference in being a ballplayer or an umpire, he explained. But he feels the prestige and sense of WiMMIWG R Santaquin celebration Although there was a bigger parade later that day, a very impressive one at that, the childrens parade in Santaquin Friday morning really typified what the people Santaquin celebration was all about having a good time together for worthy causes. The entire celebration was a success and something citizens would like to see continue. Thanks to all who made it so successful. |
