Former professor, pre-law advisor, and Phi Alpha Delta sponsor, Dr. Anthony Simones, has been Manager of Judicial Education and Programming for the Office of State Courts Administrator since August 2011. After eight years of teaching in Georgia, he returned to Missouri because his wife, Shawntay, wanted to start a family in her home state. They now have a fifteen month old daughter, Mary Margaret Gracyn.
As Manager of Judicial Education, Tony is responsible for educational programming for the state’s judges, juvenile officers, court clerks and court reporters. In addition, he is working with the Supreme Court’s Civic Education Committee, creating presentations for judges to make, as well as writing and producing videos dealing with legal issues. His latest effort is “The Battle of Skokie,” dealing with a landmark First Amendment confrontation: http://www.courts.mo.gov/civiceducation/pages/home.html
