Judge Sydney Hanlon

Judge Sydney Hanlon graduated from Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island in 1972, and graduated from Harvard Law School in 1975.

Judge Hanlon worked as a prosecutor for fifteen years: seven as an Assistant District Attorney in Norfolk County, MA (south, suburban Boston) where she was assigned to head the Sexual Assault Unit between 1977 and 1982. She became an Assistant United States Attorney in the District of Massachusetts in 1982, assigned to the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force. In 1987, at the invitation of newly elected Massachusetts Attorney General James M. Shannon, she left to become an Assistant Attorney General and to form a drug crime investigation and prosecution unit in the state Attorney General’s Office.

Governor Michael Dukakis appointed Judge Hanlon to the Dorchester District Court in 1990; she was appointed First Justice in 1994. Dorchester is a busy urban court, serving a largely immigrant and minority community; cases are primarily lower level felonies and misdemeanors, including guns, drugs, domestic violence and operating under the influence.

In 1992, District Court Chief Justice Samuel Zoll appointed Judge Hanlon to chair the District Court Domestic Violence Committee. For the next eleven years, that committee served as a principal Trial Court resource on domestic violence matters: drafting guidelines for conducting domestic violence restraining order hearings, and training judges, court personnel, police officers and others on partner violence issues.

In 1999, the United States Department of Justice Violence Against Women Office chose Dorchester District Court as one of three demonstration sites in the country for a Judicial Oversight Demonstration Initiative. This project, which is being evaluated by the Urban Institute, examines the value of close judicial and probation oversight on convicted domestic violence offenders.

Judge Hanlon travelled to Irkutsk, Russia in 2001, as part of a domestic violence training team sent by Project Harmony; she has also travelled to China and Slovakia for the Massachusetts Judges’ Conference. She has conducted trainings in Massachusetts, and, outside of Massachusetts, at the invitation of the Battered Women’s Justice Project, the American Probation and Parole Association, and the Violence Against Women Office of the Department of Justice.

Here is some information on what she’s doing now:

She has special expertise on domestice violence issues, and has implemented a number of USDOJ-funded anti-DV programs in the Massachusetts courts, including one on increasing judicial and community oversight of offenders DV-related cases. (Here’s a report about the program: http://www.ovw.usdoj.gov/dorchester_jodi2.pdf).

西德尼•汉伦（Sydney Hanlon）法官于1972年毕业于位于罗德岛普维顿斯市的布朗大学，并于1975年毕业于哈佛mg4355cc线路检测。

汉伦法官曾做了15年的检察官工作，其中担任马萨诸塞州诺福克郡助理地区检察官7年，并于1982-1977年被委任领导该地区的性侵害案件工作组。汉伦法官于1982年成为马萨诸塞州助理地区检察官，被指派参与有组织犯罪禁毒执法工作组。1987年，受新当选的马萨诸塞州检察长詹姆斯•M•萨侬（James M. Shannon）的邀请，汉伦法官成为马萨诸塞州助理检察长并在州检察长办公室下成立了一个毒品犯罪调查和检查部门。

州长迈克•杜卡基斯于1990年指派汉伦法官到多切斯特区工作。她于1994年被任命为该区第一大法官。多切斯特法院是一个很繁忙的城市法院，辖区内有大量移民和少数族裔群体，案件多为级别较低的重罪和轻罪，其中包括枪支、毒品、家庭暴力和酒后驾车相关案件。

1992年，区法院首席大法官塞缪尔•祖尔（Samuel Zoll）任命汉伦法官担任地区法院家庭暴力委员会主席。在之后的十一年间，该委员会成为处理家庭暴力问题的主要的审判法院一级的资源，其工作包括：为召开家庭暴力限制令听证会制定指南，并培训法官、法庭人员、警察和其他与参与暴力问题处理的人员。

1999年，美国司法部禁止对女性施暴办公室选择多切斯特地区法院作为其司法监督示范计划（Judicial Oversight Demonstration Initiative）全国三个示范法院之一。该项目旨在研究对于被定罪的家庭暴力加害人施行密切的司法和缓刑监督的价值，由城市研究所（the Urban Institute）对项目进行评估。

汉伦法官于2001年作为由和谐计划（Project Harmony）派出的家庭暴力培训小组成员前往俄罗斯伊尔库茨克。她还跟随马萨诸塞州法官联合会的项目到过中国和斯洛伐克。她曾应受暴妇女正义项目、美国缓刑和假释协会，以及司法部禁止对女性施暴办公室的邀请在马萨诸塞州州内和州外对相关人员进行培训。

下面是一些关于汉伦法官正在进行的工作的信息：

她在家庭暴力问题上有特别专长，并且在马萨诸塞州法院系统实施了一系列由美国司法部出资支持的反对家庭暴力项目，其中包括一个促进对家暴相关案件加害人进行司法和社区监督的项目（该项目报告请见：http://www.ovw.usdoj.gov/dorchester_jodi2.pdf）
