Montana chief justice race on Tuesday's ballot

(6/3/08) Montana voters will cast ballots in the race for the next state Supreme Court chief justice, but their votes will determine nothing. Since there are only two candidates running to succeed Chief Justice Karla Gray, both candidates -- state Attorney General Mike McGrath and Helena trial lawyer Ron Waterman -- will be on the general election ballot in November.

High court rejects compensation board’s lawsuits

(6/5/08) The Montana Supreme Court has upheld a lower court’s rulings against the state Petroleum Tank Release Compensation Board. The board had sued four insurance companies for compensation for more than $2 million in payments it made to cover the cleanup of petroleum leaks at several gas stations across the state.

Loveless for Judge

Helena attorney Dennis Loveless says his involvement in nearly 3,000 criminal cases and about 2,250 civil cases makes him the best qualified for the position of 1st Judicial District Judge. Loveless, who practices business, family law, real estate, administration, criminal and personal injury laws, has represented clients in hundreds of trials. He is one of six candidates this primary vying for the position vacated by Judge Thomas Honzel, who retired after nearly 25 years on the bench.

Kathy Seeley

Kathy Seeley, who is in her 25th year as an attorney and 23rd as an assistant Montana attorney general, said it is her experience as a prosecutor for the Prosecution Services Bureau that sets her apart from her five opponents running for First District Court Judge. "Through my work at the Department of Justice, I've tried cases in district courtrooms around the state," she said. "I have practiced before a number of different judges, and have learned what works, and what doesn't, when managing a courtroom."
