Rated ‘exceptionally well-qualified’ by the Spokane County Bar Association Judicial Evaluation Committee
“Judge Marla Polin has already demonstrated her excellence as a judge in the time she has been on the Superior Court bench. Judge Polin is intelligent, open, decisive and professional. Her rulings are thoughtful and intelligent and correct on the law. Importantly, she had extensive courtroom experience as a litigator putting on complex trials before Spokane juries for years before taking the bench. This type of experience is essential, in my opinion, to being a good judge. She has demonstrated her worth in the position already and she is clearly the best choice for judge in this race."
—Deric Martin, Spokane County Deputy Prosecuting Attorney
