J.B. BennettCircuit Court Judge:
J.B. Bennett
The two contenders for Hamilton County Circuit Court judge, Division 1, bring vastly different experiences from the domestic and civil sides of the court’s docket.
Catherine Cate White, a sole proprietor, practices mainly family law, which she says is nearly 70 percent of the cases the court deals with.
However, J.B. Bennett, an attorney with Spears, Moore, Rebman & Williams, practices more civil law, which he says are the court’s cases that individually take much more time — and are often far more complex — than domestic cases.
With great admiration for White, we believe Bennett deserves the nod for the seat — currently held by retiring Judge Jacqueline Bolton — based on the variety of cases he handles and his more extensive jury trial experience.
