Charles V. Cusimano, II
Justice of the Peace
”The monetary value of the disputes handled by the JOP Court seem small compared to the cases I handled in the 24th District, but to the litigants it may represent much of their net worth. They should receive efficient, courteous, and professional treatment.”
About Judge Charles V. Cusimano, II
With nineteen years as a District Judge, including a term as Chief Judge and nine years in the state legislature serving on the Criminal Justice, Civil Law, and Natural Resources Committees, Judge Cusimano’s qualifications far exceed those required for the office of Justice of the Peace.
Judge Cusimano, who was instrumental in
revamping the criminal
justice computer system, has ambitious plans to modernize the JOP
operations. These plans include electronic case management that may
allow litigants to file electronically and track the status of their
case via the Internet.
With the approval of the Supreme Court, Judge Cusimano is also in a unique position to help reduce the workload and expense of the district courts by hearing default judgments.
