DECEMBER 2015 - Snohomish County Bar News 3
From the Desk of the
President
Kari Petrasek
I recently had an opportunity to sit down with the
Honorable Anthony Howard. He was unanimously
appointed to be District Court Commissioner in 2011.
In 2014, he was elected to fill the open position at
Everett District Court; he is one of two judges at
Everett District Court. Judge Howard was born and
raised in Vancouver, Washington, and moved with his
family to Tacoma when he was a teenager. Throughout
his youth, he was a national level soccer player and
traveled the country. To help pay for it, he picked
berries, dug ditches, mowed lawns, and worked on a
chicken farm. Starting at the age of 16, he worked as
a pharmacy technician at a drug store. He kept that
job and worked full time while also attending classes
full time. He was the first person from his family to
graduate from high school.
After graduating high school, he attended the
University of Washington starting at the Seattle
campus and finishing at the Tacoma campus. Judge
Howard then applied to law school and attended the
Seattle University School of Law. During his first
year, he attended classes in Tacoma before the law
school was relocated to Seattle in 1999. While in law
school, he worked at the King County Bar Association
assisting indigent people with family law matters
during his 2L year, then he worked as a Rule 9 intern
for the City of Everett Public Defenders Office. He
found great pride in helping people, who for many,
had never had anyone in their lives stand up and fight
for them. He was hired at the City of Everett Public
Defenders Office after he passed the bar. In 2006,
Judge Howard transferred to the Snohomish County
Public Defenders Office so that he could increase his
experience in handling felony cases. Soon thereafter,
he went into private practice to gain civil practice
experience and in 2007, he started to pro tem.
One of the most memorable and difficult cases
Judge Howard had while an attorney involved a client
who had been charged with second degree murder. His
client had gotten into a fight with a larger man who
had attacked his small, medically fragile son. He put
the larger man in a chokehold which ended up killing
the victim. His client was a good person with no prior
history, but his client felt so guilty about what he had
done that he pled to a second degree manslaughter
charge. Judge Howard struggled a lot with the choice
his client made because he felt they had a good case to
present at trial.
Judge Howard has previously served on the
District and Municipal Court Judges Association
Technology Committee, and served as the DOL
liaison; he currently serves on the Snohomish
County District Court Budget Committee, Long
Range Planning Committee, Forms Committee, and
Technology Committee. Besides serving on these
committees, he is currently the assistant presiding
judge and will take over as the presiding judge in
2017. In addition, Judge Howard serves as the backup
judge for the District Court Mental Health Court. He
enjoys the intellectual challenge of being a judge and
learning new things each day as well as being able to
resolve disputes between people so that they leave in
a way that each party understands why he made the
ruling he did. Judge Howard also loves performing
weddings as weddings are one of the few happy things
he does in his courtroom.
Since he became a judge, he is amazed at how his
identity is so intertwined with who he is. Everywhere
he goes, there is a chance someone knows he is a judge
and he also has found that he is unable to socialize
with many of his friends because they appear in his
courtroom now. He has become very aware of how
despearate a need there is to modernize the district
courts, but understands the complexity of district court
operations and that any change has to come slowly.
District Court is dealing with antiquated software at
the state level (JIS), and so they can only do so much
with that limiatation at the district court level. One
of the biggest changes he has seen since becoming a
commissioner and subsequently a judge is that five out
of the nine judges and commissioner are new.
Judge Howard wants attorneys appearing in front
of him to remember that you can still advocate for your
client and be respectful to everyone in the courtroom at
the same time. Be respectful to other parties, the court,
and court staff… everyone. Disrepect is a horrible
strategy in his opinion. He also wants attorneys
appearing in front of him to know that he has read
everything before coming out on the bench, but he
does rely on oral argument in forming his ruling. For
new lawyers: be friendly to the court staff. They know
more than anyone how things work, so ask them for
help. Also, site authority, do not just state facts. Ask to
talk to the judges and ask how you are doing. He wants
new and young lawyers to become good at their job.
And what does Judge Howard like to do when
not being a judge? He enjoys hiking and visiting his
wife’s family in Hawaii. He also loves spending lots
of “daddy time” with his two young boys. They keep
him busy with all the activities and sports they are
involved in. 
The Lawyer’s
Road Review
by
Geoff Jones
October 5, 1923
The Most Important Date in Human History?
“All of us are lying in the gutter, but some of us
are staring at the stars.”
— Oscar Wilde
In Arlington Park elementary school in Columbus
Ohio in 1963 I was taught a little rhyme as a way to
remember the date of October 12, 1492. October 12,
1492 as everyone knows was the date that Christopher
Columbus (an Italian sailor in a fleet of ships commissioned by the queen of Spain) was given credit for discovering America. It’s one of the few dates in history
that all American schoolchildren are taught to remember with this rhyme:
“In Fourteen Hundred and Ninety Two,
Columbus sailed the ocean blue.”
We also celebrated this accomplishment in those
days with a school holiday on October 12th – “Columbus Day”. In American cities with large ItalianAmerican populations, the event was commemorated
every year with a Columbus Day parade. In those
days, government offices and banks were also closed
on October 12th to celebrate Columbus Day. I believe
it was considered a significant date in our shared history as North Americans because it opened up the vast
horizons of a new world to explore, conquer and exploit (notwithstanding the indigenous population that
already lived in this “new world” that we also conquered and exploited).
Old truths die hard and although Columbus day is
no longer considered a legal holiday in most quarters,
I suspect schoolchildren in America are still expected
to remember October 12, 1492 as a significant date
in American history. Of course, 50 years later it has
become an accepted fact that Columbus was not the
first European to discover the new world. The Vikings
came to North America several hundred years before
Columbus, and even established a colony in New
Foundland Canada several centuries before Columbus.
There are also unsubstantiated claims for the Irish,
Chinese and even the Knights Templar as having come
to North America hundreds of years before the Nina,
the Pinta and the Santa Maria sailed the ocean blue
and landed on the shores of San Salvador in the Bahamas and “claimed it” for the Spanish empire.
October 5, 1923 was not a significant date that I
learned about in school. You’re unlikely to be able to
find any reference to this date in history books as having any historical significance. Most Americans are
able to attach significance to certain historical dates
from the last century such as December 7, 1941 (Pearl
Harbor day); June 6, 1944 (D-Day); and more recently: September 11, 2001 (attack on the World Trade
Center). But the date of October 5, 1923 has no meaningful resonance in the minds of most people. Yet an
event happened on that day that inalterably changed
are perception of mankind’s place in the cosmos and
forever shaped how we view our status as sentient human beings in the universe.
On October 5, 1923, a discovery was made by
an astronomer named Edwin Hubble. Most people
may be aware of Edwin Hubble as the astronomer for
whom the space telescope was named. This convention-shattering event on October 5, 1923 occurred in
Southern California at the Mount Wilson observatory.
Edwin Hubble, a senior astronomer, was out in the
early hours of the morning, taking measurements of
the brightness of certain objects in night sky. In particular, Hubble was examining the light of an object
he found in the area then known as the Andromeda
nebulae, and was trying to measure its distance from
the earth. A nebulae is a cloud of luminous gas that
can be found throughout the Milky Way galaxy and in
1923 it was believed that Andromeda was just another
nebulae among thousands of them scattered throughout our galaxy. Hubble discovered that this object in
Andromeda which he identified as a cepheid, which is
a type of variable star, was in fact much farther away
than could possibly be accounted for as being a part of
our galaxy. In fact, Hubble discovered that Andromeda was not a nebulae at all, but a separate galaxy of its
own, equal to if not bigger than the Milky Way. What
was originally thought to be luminous gases was actually the light from billions of undiscovered stars outside the Milky Way galaxy. While there are billions
of stars in the Milky Way galaxy, there are perhaps as
many as a trillion galaxies in the known universe.
Prior to October 5, 1923, the universe was a relatively small, static place consisting of the Milky Way
which had changed very little over the billions of years
from its creation. Hubble’s discovery led to the eventual understanding that many of those foggy patches of
light that were believed to be clouds of luminous gas in
the Milky Way, were in fact billions of other galaxies
littered throughout the visible universe. And not only
did Hubble discover that there were billions of other
galaxies scattered unevenly throughout the universe,

continued from page 5
but also that these galaxies were all hurtling away from
each other at incredible speeds initially impelled by the
force of the big bang and accelerating by a mysterious
force now known as dark energy. The Milky Way is
just one of billions of other galaxies in the universe.
In fact there are so many galaxies in the universe that
they are grouped for identification in clusters, and the
Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxy discovered by
Hubble, are part of a cluster of other galaxies known as
the “the Local Group”. Each of the billions of galaxies in the universe is moving through space in every direction at tremendous velocity. The speed of the Milky
Way galaxy has been clocked at 300 km/s (kilometers
per second or 670,000 miles per hour). Ironically, the
Milky Way and Andromeda are actually moving toward each other at the rate of 130 km/s and will actually collide with one another in about 5 billion years.
Our understanding of man’s place in the universe
became infinitesimally small after October 5, 1923, in
direct proportion to the vastness of the space/time in
which we exist. Prior to October 5, 1923, the known
universe was vast, but at least conceivable of one
day being mapped and measured and known. After
Hubble’s discovery, we now see that our place on the
planet earth is spinning around a modest G class star,
located in the suburbs of a typical spiral galaxy known
as the Milky Way, found in the Local Group cluster
of galaxies in a vast sea of similar clusters all moving away from each other at incredible speeds. After
Hubble’s discovery, the immensity of our universe is
no longer knowable. The measurable became immeasurable, the limited became limitless. Like Copernicus’ discovery of the heliocentric solar system, Man’s
understanding of the universe and his place in it, had
to undergo a profound reevaluation that we are still
struggling to accept today. We are now aware that our
world is a tiny dust speck of matter whirling silently in
a vast sea of infinite space, the distant shores of which
are impossible to fathom. Thanks to the space telescope named after Edwin Hubble, we now have the
ability to see to the far horizons of the universe, and
look back in time billions of years to a time when the
universe was still young.
The cutting edge of astrophysics now posits a
concept of our universe as a thin membrane not unlike the skin of a bubble. This “brane” theory also
suggests that there may be an infinite number of these
membranes existing together in at least 17 dimensions within a cosmic otherness which we will never
“know” but can only conceptualize through the most
advanced mathematics. An infinite number of universes may exist in other dimensions right in front of
us, but we will never be able to sense them because
our perceptions are limited to the four dimensions in
which we exist. But the events that were triggered by
Hubble’s discovery on October 5, 1923 now give us
at least a conceptual framework to begin to grasp the
magnitude of the heavens above and around us, and
the minutia of the tiny space in which we exist in this
cosmos. And that seems to me a date of discovery
worth remembering.
In 1492 when Columbus charted a westward
course across the ocean into uncharted seas where
dragons were believed to exist, the horizons of the
known world were limited to Europe, Asia and parts of
Africa. The sky was still just a canopy illuminated at
night by the stars which were nothing more than pinpricks of light in the overhead canvas of the night sky.
His discovery of the new world seemed historic at
the time because it forced a change in the way people
began to think of the world as a sphere that could be
circumnavigated without falling off an imagined edge
of a two-dimensional plane. It was celebrated as an
historic event because it opened up new frontiers in
the Americas to be explored and incorporated into the
known world.
450 years after Columbus, Hubble’s measurement
of the light from a cepheid in Andromeda on October
5, 1923 resulted in a discovery that had a similar effect on the framework in which we understand our
world and its place in the cosmos. But this momentous achievement is largely ignored by most people
because it makes us feel small and insignificant and
forces us to confront the hard truth that we will never
explore and conquer the vastness of our universe. We
can only gaze in wonder at the night sky and try to
imagine the worlds without end that lie beyond our
ability to reach.

YOU MADE A DIFFERENCE in 2015-THANK YOU!
“We make a living by what we get, but we make
a life by what we give”---Winston Churchill. What
appropriate words for this time of the year. I am
excited to let you know this year’s results for the 2015
Campaign for Equal Justice: Here in Snohomish
County, to date, we have raised $24,110. So far 14%
of our local bar has contributed to the Campaign. Last
year we had 20% attorney participation, so we have
a ways to go to match 2014 results. But there is still
time to give and make a difference.
You may ask: What is my donation used for?
One example from this past year is The Legal
Foundation of Washington made four $25,000 grants
for groundbreaking projects to ameliorate harmful
effects of mass incarceration in our state. Each grant
supports a novel approach or collaboration to designed
tackle problems that overwhelm people and families
trying to rebuild their lives after incarceration, from
funding legal information kiosks in prisons to funding
video visits for inmates to speak with their children to
providing conflict resolution skills for prisoners and
their families upon release. Your donations made such
timely and innovated services possible.
If you haven’t already pledged your support,
please considering giving to the Campaign for Equal
Justice as part of your end of the year donations. For
every $1 raised in Snohomish County, $3.00 comes
back to either Snohomish County Legal Service
(SCLS) or our local TeamChild and NW Justice
Project in the form of grant money. By contributing
to the Campaign, it is like tripling your money for
SCLS, NW Justice Project and TeamChild! In 2015,
over 1,000,000 people in Washington will need legal
assistance and can’t afford it. They deserve justice
and YOU CAN HELP.
There are several different ways to contribute
to the Campaign for Equal Justice. First, you can
donate on-line at our secure web site: www.c4ej.org.
Second, you can contribute when you renew your
Washington State bar dues. There is a line on that
form where you can make a donation to the Campaign
when you renew your bar license. If you do nothing,
you automatically contribute $50.00 to the Campaign.
How easy is that? Lastly, scan your mail for our end
of the year reminder and mail in you check.
Thank You Everyone for Your Support. Families
and individuals in legal crisis throughout Snohomish
County will continue to be able to get help because of
your generosity.
