Governor Baker Nominates Kevin R. Connelly to Massachusetts Probate Court

Governor Baker Nominates Kevin R. Connelly to Massachusetts Probate Court

BOSTON – Governor Baker has nominated The Honorable Kevin R. Connelly, a Probate and Family Court Judge assigned to the Middlesex Division of the Probate and Family Court, to the Plymouth County Division of that court, which was vacated by Judge Catherine P. Sabaitis’ retirement earlier this year. Judge Sabaitis served that community, where she was born and raised, extremely well for twenty six years.

“Judge Connelly’s dedication to serving Massachusetts families during trying and complicated domestic legal proceedings is admirable,” said Governor Charlie Baker. “I have the utmost confidence that the Court will be strengthened by his continued commitment to justice.”

“Judge Connelly brings distinguished experience to the Plymouth County Probate and Family Court and I am pleased that Judge Connelly will continue to serve the citizens of the Commonwealth with fairness and equality in these difficult matters,” said Lt. Governor Karyn Polito. 

Judicial nominations are subject to the advice and consent of the Governor’s Council. Applicants for judicial openings are reviewed by the Judicial Nominating Commission (JNC) and recommended to the governor. Governor Baker established the JNC in February, 2015 pursuant to Executive Order 558, a non-partisan, non-political Commission composed of volunteers from a cross-section of the Commonwealth's diverse population to screen judicial applications. Twenty-one members were later appointed to the JNC in April, 2015.
