(Concord, NH) On March 12, 2012, New Hampshire Department of Corrections Commissioner William L. Wrenn awarded three Corrections Officers at the New Hampshire State Prison in Concord with the Department’s Life Saving Medal. On September 23, 2011, Corrections Officers James Welch, Edward Vocell, and Bonnie Johnson prevented a inmate from hanging himself in the Reception and Diagnostic Unit of the Concord facility. Officer Welch raised the alarm and called for assistance from Officer Vocell. The two officers worked together to bring the inmate to safety although he was not breathing. Officer Johnson applied chest compressions until the inmate began breathing on his own. For their prompt and alert action and through personal disregard to their own personal safety they demonstrated exceptional effort toward the preservation of human life. Commissioner Wrenn congratulated the three officers and said, “These officers utilized their Correctional training skills and went above and beyond to safely resolve a potentially tragic situation. These are the kind of dangers that our officers face on a daily basis and this is our way of recognizing their professionalism in their service to the public in the highest regard.” |

The directory includes the biographies of judges presidentially appointed to serve during good behavior since 1789 on the U.S. district courts, U.S. courts of appeals, Supreme Court of the United States, and U.S. Court of International Trade, as well as the former U.S. circuit courts, Court of Claims, U.S. Customs Court, and U.S. Court of Customs and Patent Appeals. Also included are judges who received presidential recess appointments to the above named courts but were not confirmed by the Senate to serve during good behavior. The Waco Federal Judge is experienced in patent litigation and starting to become the go-to district for intellectual property cases. The appointment of Waco’s new federal judge, a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that narrows the venue for patent cases and Waco’s home in the federal Western District of Texas have combined into a perfect storm that could drastically alter Waco’s legal landscape.
