Judges Reelect Clark, Campbell to Posts
The Ventura County Superior Court judges have reelected Judge Charles W. Campbell Jr. as presiding judge, and Judge Bruce A. Clark as assistant presiding judge for 1999.
The presiding judge supervises the administrative business of the court and serves as liaison between the courts and other government and civic agencies.
Campbell served as presiding judge this year. A former prosecutor and private attorney, he was appointed to the Municipal Court in 1988 and to the Superior Court in 1992. He graduated from Dartmouth College and earned his law degree at Glendale College of Law.
Clark also served as a top administrator for the court in 1998.
As the assistant presiding judge, he stepped into the leadership role while Campbell was presiding over the lengthy trial of convicted murderer Michael Dally earlier this year.
Also a former prosecutor, Clark was elected to the Municipal Court in 1978 and appointed to the Superior Court in June 1998, when Ventura County consolidated its Municipal and Superior courts.
He received his undergraduate degree from the University of Redlands and his law degree from UC Berkeley’s Boalt Hall School of Law.
