There were mixed reactions in City Hall Friday when the announcement was made that a city employe had been named to a judgeship in the Fifth Circuit Court. On the one hand, there were hand shakes and extensions of congratula tions to City Prosecutor Mike Hut chings, who was named by Gov Scott Matheson as one of three ap pointees to the bench. On the other hand, there was bewilderment and disappointment that Matheson had bypassed Justice of the Peace L. Bruce Larsen in the selection process. City officials strongly and repeatedly supported Larsens appointment to the judgeship during the legislative session in which West Valley was thrust into the circuit court system. The governor announced Friday that Hutchings, deputy county attorney Michael Burton and Frank Noel, an attorney in private practice, had been named to fill the three created by the judgeships in the court expansion. legislature That Larsen, who was the top nominee of a judicial nominating commission within the Fifth Circuit, had been overlooked by the governor was criticized by the City Council here Tuesday. Said Mayor Jerry Maloney: It leads me to believe the governor is using other than good horse sense. Maloney was one of a nominating commission which reviewed nearly three dozen applications for the openings and submitted a list of nine nominees to Matheson. A point system devised by the nominating commission perience on the bench, something which none of the other applicants had. Burton was second in line, followed by Salt Lake City prosecutor Stan Olsen, who also was not appointed. Hutchings was fourth in the commissions point scheme. Noel was sixth or seventh, he added. The governors appointment also created a disconcerting situation for Hutchings and Larsen, who had worked closely together for three years since the city was founded -Larsen sitting in judgment on cases Hutchings was prosecuting. For Hutchings, the elation over being appointed was tempered by the fact that Larsen wasnt. For Larsen, the governors announcement was clearly a disappointment, although he said he bears no animosity whatsoever toward Hutchings for receiving the appointment. And, as Hutchings said, after the two discussed the situation, I felt Judge Larsen would get one and Id go for one of the other two. I dont know why he didnt get it. It came as a shock tome. In City Hall, officials speculated about the governors reason for bypassing Larsen. To most, politics had little to do with the selection. Hutchings said Matheson was forthright in stating that he wasn't interested in the candidates party affiliation. Larsen may have been hurt, one official said, by the fact that he is a JP. Within the legal profession, the position of justice of the peace is not EJHS Larsen first by a wide margin, Maloney said, noting that the West Valley JP had several years of ex- - Ruesch Is Sustained To East Stake Council KEARNS.

He graduated ninth in his law school at Western State University in California and was a prosecutor in the County Attorneys office before his appointment to the West Valley post. The fact that he graduated from a California law school may have worked against him as well, another official said. By the same token, Hutchings and Burton may have been aided by the fact that they are graduates of BYUs law school, the first from that young school to be appointed to the bench, it was noted. Larsen and other city officials agreed that Hutchings had established a solid reputation in his three years as city prosecutor. Mikes a good attorney. Hell make a good judge, said Larsen. He has a sense of fairness and thats really the criteria for being a good judge. Hutchings has been quite active in the Statewide Association of Prosecutors, lobbying heavily for the DUI legislation and contributing insight for the contents of the bill. He has taught at the Police Office Standards and Training (POST) academy, with an emphasis on search and seizure law, constitutional law and laws of evidence. He also was the chairman of a committee of prosecutors, state officials and police officers which drafted a new uniform DUI report. Hutchings, who will be the youngest circuit court judge at 29, said he is elated and excited about the challenge. universally held in high regard since JPs need not have legal training.

He has been a member of the schools volleyball team and president of his seminary class. The oldest of five children, he enjoys working with wood, particularly in a class at school, he likes sports, camping and fishing. He isnt fearful about changing sides of the bench, contending his years as a prosecutor have imbued him with a knowledge of how to handle cases and jury trials. He added that he knows attorneys and he understands the practical application of the law. As for Larsen, he apparently is headed to private practice, a change which he admits is both welcome and worrisome. In private practice he will have more freedom, having the opportunity to deal with both civil and criminal cases. A judge hears the same type of case over and over. He will also be primarily a defense attorney, another change since he has been prosecutor and judge before. Take Cash, Oven From Residence Paint Gun, Motor Are Taken From Storage KEARNS.
