Court of Common Pleas

Carolyn B. Friedland

1. Yes

2. Yes In all of the above.

3. Yes

4. Yes

5. Can't really be out front. However I have been involved (indirectly through contributions) in Oregon and Colorado.

Friedland is seeking re-election to her seat on the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas. In her first term, she was one of several judges chosen to form an advisory board to assist the court's administrative judge. She was President of WomenSpace from 1988-1989 and served on the Board of Directors of the Western reserve AIDS Foundation from '88-'90.

Stuart A. Friedman has been a judge in the Cuyahoga Court of Common Pleas since 1987. Prior to that, he was the assistant director of law for the City of Cleveland. "I firmly believe that everyone has a right to be treated with both dignity and respect, and to receive fair consideration by the courts."

Off the bench, he demonstrates his support for equal rights by supporting the Human Rights Campaign Fund and by attending such events as the annual Stonewall Cleveland dinners.

Timothy E. McMonagle has been a judge in the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas since 1983. He is a faculty member of the Ohio Judicial College where he teaches continuing legal education courses to Ohio judges.

Pat Talty

1. Yes (Family members and former law partner).

2. Absolutely

3. Yes. I simply do not believe anyone should be discriminated against in employment except in those extremely rare situations when a bona fide occupational qualifi-

cation exists.

4. Support, yes. I have some concerns about programs which single out any group, of persons who are subject to discrimination because I believe that can encourge prejudice and bias by those outside the group which the program is intended to help.

5. To the extent the judicial canons of ethics would allow participation by an elected judge. On a personal basis, I oppose any such

program.

Court of Common Pleas, Juvenile Division

Eileen Anna Gallagher 1. Yes

2. Yes

3. Yes

4. Yes and that is an area in which I have particular plans if elected to the Juvenile Court bench. I would like to institute a support group for lesbian and gay delinquents through the court and have so advised other publications.

5. Yes

Gallagher has been a probation officer in the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas for 15 years, putting herself throgh Cleveland Marshall College of Law during that time. She believes that the Juvenile Court has failed to meet the challenges that exist there and has failed to develop and utilize innovative programs to detour children from becoming hardened, adult criminals. Gallagher is a lifelong resident of Cuyahoga County and currently makes her home in Lakewood.
