1 Day to Go: Who do you want as your next Judge? Let’s continue to talk about why more experience matters. LEADERSHIP
All Judges are leaders based on their position but leadership is more than a title. A leader earns the respect of the people and makes the world we live in a better place. A Judge has enormous influence and responsibility. Being a good leader is a significant part of being a Judge.
Michael Moore is a leader. Mike has led the Beadle County State’s Attorney’s Office for 28 years. Mike has served as President of the South Dakota State’s Attorney’s Association and was elected to be the President of the National District Attorney’s Association. NDAA represents more than 2500 local prosecutor offices’ and over 40,000 prosecutors. Mike is the only person from South Dakota to hold this office. In addition, Mike has partnered with the University of South Dakota and the South Dakota Network Against Family Violence and Sexual Assault to bring an important grant to our state. Under Mike’s leadership, Beadle County serves as the administrator of the Sexual Assault Kit Initiative Grant that benefits all victims of Sexual Assault throughout SD. Mike created “a one of a kind” partnership between 12 rural counties to work together to help victims by creating a victim coordinator position that serves all victims in those 12 counties. Mike has obtained grants for juvenile justice and victims of crime throughout his career bringing millions of dollars and more importantly vast benefits to the people of SD. As a leader, Mike has helped create other leaders in our State. Mike’s deputies have had positive impacts on our State in many ways. Mike’s deputies have gone on to serve as elected prosecutors, Assistant US Attorneys, Assistant Attorney Generals, partners in law firms, and a Federal Judge.
