2022 election: Q&A with Michael Flemming, candidate for Superior Court Judge, Office 35 [Opinion]
A: I have been a deputy public defender for the past eight years where I have tried approximately 40 trials to verdict. In 2016, I was awarded the William Fletcher Award by the North County Bar Association for excellent indigent defense.
Often, I see the same offenders returning time and again only with ever more serious charges rather than benefiting from a system that is structured to facilitate a reintroduction. Additionally, jail is being used to house people with mental illnesses rather than incarcerate our most dangerous offenders.
Q: What is your judicial philosophy? What are the guiding principles that will shape your rulings or beliefs as a judge?A: I am a “non-constructionist,” thus I believe that the United States and California Constitutions are living documents that adapt to change as our society continues to evolve. Public safety and equity are not competing ideals in my campaign. I believe in criminal justice reform.
Q: When do you think it’s appropriate to limit cameras or audio recorders in the courtroom? Post-pandemic, do you think virtual hearings should continue, and under which circumstances? On the other hand, virtual appearances should remain an option for civil and family law cases. Not only do virtual hearings mitigate costs, they also reduce court backlogs by allowing courts to address more cases at a time and greatly enhance access to the courts for many in our community with mobility issues.
