CANDIDATE STATEMENT: "Some say Nic Corning looks like Santa", says Faith Ireland, retired Washington Supreme Court Justice. "He will bring many gifts as a judge: intelligence, energy, compassion, integrity and common sense. He has the courtroom experience we need."

For 35 years I've represented the injured and disabled in courtrooms, helping people win disputes against the powerful insurance industry. I have obtained justice for consumers, small business owners and people like you and your family.

My decision to be a judge follows many years of public service as a volunteer leader - teaching, writing and advocating to end injustice.

I've arbitrated, prosecuted and defended criminal and civil cases in state and federal courts. I'm committed to people getting equal access to justice, promoting diversity and making our legal system fair, fast and effective.

A lifelong Washingtonian from a working class family, I attended public schools and worked my way through college and law school as a cement finisher.

I'll be an honest, fair and impartial judge - solving problems and assuring that people get their day in court.

Rated highly by six bar associations and the King County Labor Council. Endorsed by five Washington State Supreme Court Justices.
