Phone: 912.414.0809 by Brandy Simpkins Municipal Court Judge Katie Brewington is running for Magistrate Court Judge of Chatham County. Currently serving as a defense attorney and pro tern judge in municipal courts, she aims to bring her extensive legal expe rience to the Magistrate Court. Known as “The Peo ple’s Court’’, the Magistrate Court assists individuals in civ il and criminal actions, without the need for an attorney, mak ing the Magistrate Court af fordable for everyone in Cha tham County. Originally from South Dakota, Judge Brew ington has been a resident of Savannah since 2012. After passing the bar exam at Florida Coastal School of Law, Judge Brewington relocated to the port city, where she established the Brewington Law Firm. She has since represented clients across a spectrum of cases from simple traffic tickets to complex Federal jury trials and everything in between. Six years ago, Judge Brewington secured a contract with the City of Savannah to represent low-income clients in magistrate court, and for the past 16 months, she has served as a pro tern judge in municipal courts. Motivated by her de sire to serve, Judge Brewing- ton views the position of mag istrate court judge as the next logical step in her career. She aims to contribute positively to the judicial system by uphold ing the law and ensuring a fair process for all. She acknowledges the influence of Judge Mi chael Barker, the current posi tion-holder, and aspires to em ulate his dedication to the law and the community. She said her long-term goal is to contin uously become a better judge to teach other judges and help them succeed in their profes sions. “If I get into this posi tion, I’m not planning on using it as a stepping stone for anoth er higher position,’’ Brewing- ton said. “I want to become the best magistrate court judge I can be.’’ Judge Brewington shares intimately that as a first-generation college and law student, she has always been self-motivated to do this work for the people. “My husband and I worked very hard to get where we are, and I think having that experience will help me on the bench and keep it equal for people,” Brewington said.
