Tomorrow, May 5th, 2015 at 12:00 p.m., there will be a portrait unveiling for retired 338th District Court Judge Mary Bacon on the 20th Floor of the Criminal Justice System.
Judge Bacon has been retired for some time now, but I had the pleasure of trying a case in front of her when she was a visiting judge. Not only is a great judge, she is one of my favorite people. I'm very glad to hear about the portrait unveiling.
Please come by if you are in the neighborhood and have the time.
