Augusta, Maine – Governor Paul LePage today administered the oath for Judge John H. O’Neil to serve as a Justice of the Superior Court and Justice G. Arthur Brennan to serve as an Active Retired Justice of the Superior Court.

 

“I am pleased that both of these individuals wish to continue their service to our great State,” said the Governor. “In choosing judges, my focus is on the qualifications, demeanor, and integrity of the candidates, and both of these men bring significant value to the bench.”

 

Judge O’Neil, a resident of Kennebunk, was nominated to the District Court by Governor Baldacci in 2007.

He has served four terms on the Superior Court, having been re-nominated by Governors McKernan, King, and Baldacci.
