Judge Nance, who has been on the bench since 2012, said that she is disappointed by what happened in the disciplinary process. The charges are a “travesty of justice,” she declared. She noted that this experience has given her a view of the justice system from the perspective of those falsely accused itself and that the ongoing investigation is smudging what was previously her “unblemished” 25-year legal career.
Nance, who is representing herself for the moment, stands for re-election in November. She has asked that the commission act in accordance with the special masterU5s recommendation and dismiss the charges, as continuing proceedings would be “harassment.”Legal Representation
