Presiding Municipal Court Judge Elected
William G. Willett has been elected presiding judge of the South Bay Municipal Court for 1988.

Willett, 43, has been a municipal judge since 1980. He will oversee the opening of a satellite court this spring at the Redondo Beach Pier, and said he is considering opening a night court at the Torrance courthouse to relieve overcrowding.
