Re: Emeritus Judges

[Robert Pries <robertpries@embarqmail.com>]

That is not what i said. What I am saying is holding an office at the national level is not a requirement for Emeritus Judge. One can perform service in many different ways. But an emeritus judge is expected to have done something more than just the regular duties that a good judge performs. Said judge should have had positive effects on the society over and above just being a judge.

Robert you have just confused me!

So you are saying that a "judge" who also holds an office should be
considered for Emeritus?????  What does holding an office have to do
with judging?

I do agree if a one judges an affiliate show that is on the national
level because the show is AIS approved.
