Commissioner Much previously served in the Office of Disciplinary Council

WILMINGTON, Del. – Governor John Carney on Friday announced the nomination of Family Court Commissioner Mary S. Much to serve as a Family Court Judge in New Castle County.

Governor Carney’s nomination must be confirmed by the Delaware Senate.

“Commissioner Much is well-prepared to serve as a Judge on the Family Court,” said Governor Carney. “She has the experience, knowledge and judgment necessary to fairly decide cases that come before the Family Court – cases that have a real impact on the lives of Delawareans. I am confident she is the right person for the job.”

The Honorable Mary S. Much has served as a Family Court Commissioner in New Castle County since May 2006, and previously served as a Family Court Commissioner from 1994 to 1999. Commissioner Much was mostly recently re-appointed last year by Governor Jack Markell and confirmed by the Delaware Senate. From 1999 to 2006, she served in the Office of Disciplinary Counsel of the Supreme Court of the State of Delaware. Earlier, she spent three years as a Deputy Attorney General at the Delaware Department of Justice. Commissioner Much is a 1977 graduate of Wilmington Friends School, and holds degrees from Villanova University and the Delaware Law School at Widener University.
