Local Lawyer Promoted to Judge

An area attorney says he’s looking forward to his new role as judge of the Superior Court of Justice.

Danial Newton was appointed to the bench Friday afternoon.

“I’ve been a lawyer for almost 31 years,” he says, “and this is a great opportunity to learn new law and serve the people of northwestern Ontario.”
