“Judges are public servants and not politicians. Having the experience of representing people and children involved in cases before the Essex County courts gives me the balanced and independent perspective necessary to make just and fair decisions.
This position comes with great responsibility, and I believe that my experience, temperament, and qualifications make me the right choice to serve Essex County as its next sitting judge.”

Over 70% of the filings before the Essex County Judge are related to Family Court matters. The remaining duties of the Essex County Judge are cases filed in Surrogate’s Court and County Court.
Currently, Amy is serving as the principal court attorney under Essex County Judge Richard Meyer, and she has worked with him since day one of his first term. There, she supports the judge as staff attorney by drafting legal decisions, evaluating arguments and evidence for legal sufficiency, conducting settlement conferences with counsel before trial and assisting the three court clerks’ offices in court operations, among other duties.
Amy is a graduate of the College of the Holy Cross and New England College School of Law. She recently completed a graduate-level certificate in Restorative Justice through Vermont Law School.
