Congratulations to Judge Daniel Brown who has been named the first ever St. Louis County Municipal Court Administrative Judge!
Judge Brown was chosen collectively by his fellow judges. In this role, he is responsible for the administrative duties of the Municipal Court judges and presides over all specialty courts. Those specialty courts provide services including substance use treatment, mental health treatment, job training and housing assistance.
"An addition of an Administrative Judge adds a level of accountability to the court’s judges, increases opportunities for judicial education, and allows for coordination with the Court Administrator to achieve high performing court standards and implement progressive court reforms and practices," said Courtney Whiteside, director of Municipal Courts. "It also allows the court to expand on available specialty court services and add new services."
