Bennett for Judge Bennett for Judge
Governor Crane may appoint Dean Samuel C. Bennett of Boston University Law School to one of three Superior Court seats. A report claims Bennett has been invited to accept a judgeship, which he did not confirm when questioned. The Senate bill creating three new judgeships may reach the Governor next week, delaying public announcements. Bennett’s long BU tenure and lineage as Edmund H. Bennett’s son make his potential move surprising to legal circles.
