Dear Ms. H.,

Regarding the evaluations presently taking place, I want to state that Marianne B., my Court Clerk, is and has been doing an outstanding job since she was assigned to my part.

Marianne is very well organized, treats attorneys with respect, and has complete control of the courtroom.

During my 14 years on the Supreme Court bench, Marianne has been the best clerk I have ever worked with, and has been a tremendous asset in connection with my duties in the Court.

Very truly yours,

Dear Dan B.,

I want to personally thank you for all your help and guideance in putting together the Family Treatment Court graduation, from corrdinating with the Judges, to the beautiful program and for also keeping me calm.

As a result of your efforts, we had a truly inspiring graduation ceremony. Our treatment court participants were elated. Our audience of Judges, Lawyers, Social Workers and Treatment Providers were truly motivated and uplifted by what we have accomplished. The ceremony ran like clock work and was sensitive to the feelings of all the participants. There was a wonderful feeling of warmth and dignity generated by the graduation.

The only problem is that everyone wants a graduation as grand as the one you created. Once again, thank you. My mom was overwhelmed by the day and sends her love to you.

Very truly yours,

Ruth C. B., JFC

Dear Justice M.,

This letter concerns one of your employees, Ed M., who to my knowledge is a Counter Clerk in the Motion Support Office. Yesterday, while waiting for several hours for an order to show cause to be signed, I was able to observe Mr. M.'s manner and demeanor. It was so courteous and professional that I thought it worth mentioning by letter.

In the several hours while waiting in the office I found Mr. M. to be extremely patient and understanding while dealing with those that approached the Motion Support counter. He explained the procedures very well and was extremely polite and pleasant, even when those requesting assistance were in the wrong place. His manners and behavior were excemptional and should be commended. Should you have any questions, please feel free to call.

Sincerely,

Michael J. L.

Deputy County Attorney

Dear Ms. H.,

I am writing this letter on behalf of Carolyn D., Senior Court Clerk, Supreme Court. The reason for this letter is to acknowledge my gratitude towards Carolyn for taking on the respndsibility of training me in my position as Senior Court Clerk. As well as being a perfectionist, Carolyn is extremely intelligent and was able to both train me and complete her job task without any interruption to the Court.

Carolyn is very through in her training techniques. She was considerate enough to take the time to set up a reference book for me which was filled with notes for me to fall back on. This book which I took everywhere with me, still comes in handy. Because of Carolyn's abilities and expertise, she encouraged me to be a more confident reliable Senior Court Clerk.

I feel the importance of acknowledging reliable, professional employees like Carolyn when they impact others in a positive way. Thank you for your time in reading this letter.

Very truly yours,

Ann Marie S.

Senior Court Clerk, Supreme Court, Nassau County
