Salehi, Koury Elected LASC Commissioners
By a MetNews Staff Writer
Deputy Alternate Public Defender Mahin Salehi and criminal defense attorney Joel Koury have been elected by judges of the Los Angeles Superior Court as court commissioners.
The results of the electronic balloting were certified Tuesday by Judges Ruth Ann Kwan, Maureen Duffy-Lewis, and Patti Jo McKay.
Election of Salehi and Koury came as no surprise. They were next in order on the eligibility list compiled by a court committee.
Of those remaining on the list, the next highest are Los Angeles Superior Court Mental Health Hearing Referee Mary Melendrez and Los Angeles Deputy Public Defender Heather Hocter.
