Delaware governor announces judicial appointments

Posted

Gov. John Carney on Friday announced his nominations for the reappointment of a judge and a commissioner to Family Court.

Judge Peter B. Jones has been recommended for reappointment to the court in Sussex County, where he has served since 2018, while Commissioner Emily A. Farley has been nominated for the court in Kent County.

Previously, Judge Jones was a partner at Berl & Jones in Georgetown and Hudson, Jones, Jaywork, Williams & Liguori in Dover.

He started his law career as a deputy attorney general in the Delaware Department of Justice. The Sussex County resident was born and raised in Wilmington.

Commissioner Farley has been serving in her role since 2016.

Previously, she was a deputy attorney general in the Child Support Unit and worked in various positions at the Community Legal Aid Society for 12 years. Commissioner Farley is a resident of Kent County.

“I want to thank these two qualified jurists for their willingness to serve the people of the state of Delaware,” said Gov. Carney. “I’m confident that their experience and judgment will continue to be beneficial to our judiciary system.”
