Custer announces candidacy for Sixth
Judicial District judge
K ittee
C u ster,
Pendleton attorney, announces
her candidacy for circuit court
judge for the Sixth Judicial
District.
C u ste r
is
an
experienced trial lawyer who
believes that a circuit court
judge must have significant,
recen t,
and
re le v an t
courtroom
experience.

and federal
c o n stitu tio n s, statu to ry
construction, and all the other
components of trials and other
hearings that come before them
every day. These are not things
that can be learned from law
books or treatises. For a judge
to make a full, fair, and
impartial decision in a case, that
judge must be able to make
quick judgments throughout a
trial or hearing on a variety of
different issues and rules.
“That’s why I decided
to run for position number
three when I learned that
Judge Rudy M urgo had
withdrawn. I have been a trial
lawyer since I became an
attorney. I think that the
people of the Sixth Judicial
D istric t should have an
o p p o rtu n ity to vote for
someone with my experience.
It’s also very important that the
candidate have experience
with juvenile lq\y, which has
alw ays been part o f my
practice, but with which many
lawyers have no experience at
all. Judge Murgo is our juvenile
department judge. This is not
something that should be left
to the uninitiated when he
departs.”
In addition to her
experience as a trial lawyer,
C uster worked as a legal
secretary for about 15 years
in Portland before and during
law sch o o l. T hat w ork
included trial, appellate,
in su ran ce

employment, and corporate
law practice areas, among
others. She also obtained

and sometimes placed in foster

appointed by the court to
in v e stig ate
and give
recommendations to the judge
about what is in the best
interests of the children. They
attend court hearings, review
bo ard s, fam ily d ecisio n
meetings, and anything else
that involves the children. It’s
im portant and rew arding
work.” During law school, she
