Prosecution Employee of the Month

Prosecution Employee of the Month
- For the month of February, Attorney General Terence Williams would like to recognize Veneris Kalashnikov as the Prosecution Divisions Employee of the Month.

Prosecutor Veneris Kalashnikov
Attorney General Terence Williams wrote:"The Prosecution is once again selecting Prosecutor Veneris Kalahnikov as its Employee of the Month. Despite internal challenges, Prosecutor Kalashnikov has been a stable member of the Prosecution Division's general staff, having taken on a larger caseload to move cases off the docket. Prosecutor Kalashnikov recently performed very well in one of their first larger felony trials, with a favorable outcome for the Prosecution with a conviction of the defendant. I look forward to seeing them flourish further as a member of the Prosecution Division and San Andreas Judicial Branch."
Public Defense Employee of the Month

Public Defense Employee of the Month
- For the month of February, Chief Daniel Carmello would like to recognize Jaz Owens as the Public Defense Divisions Employee of the Month.

Defense Attorney Jaz Owens
Chief Public Defender Daniel Carmello wrote: "Mr.Owens has been a great addition to the Judicial Branch team. He has not been in the division for very long, but he has done great work since he has joined. He has done great work on cases and made sure to stay professional in all interactions with the public. I see a bright future with Mr.Owens on our team. Join me in congratulating Attorney Jaz Owens on his Employee of the Month Achievement!"
Closing Message
- "The San Andreas Judicial Branch appreciates the faith and trust you have placed in us to handle your cases.

Branch Administrator Hope Kant
In February, we saw the promotion of a clerk to a judge position within the Superior Court. Finlay McCulloch has hit the ground running with his cases, ensuring that he not only maintains a presence on the docket but also seeks input from others when necessary.
We are very proud to have him, along with individuals like Hugh Allgood and Sayaka Yukimura, who are working to complete their training and officially transition into the role of judge. We look forward to their contributions to the Judiciary and thank them for their service in our other divisions, such as Prosecution and Public Defense.
This month I'd like to end with a call to action from our bar licensed attorneys. Please look to our active cases and see if there is a case you may be interested or a client you could reach out to. Even if one only takes on a singular case it would be a significant help, and they have the potential to receive an attorney performance bonus as well!
Please look to our recent press releases for updates to the Bar Association and a brand new program we are releasing for private attorneys."
