Professional Background: Anne Fisher Segal, JD, brings a background of balanced
temperament, highest ethical standards, and broad legal experience to the Justice of the Peace position.
Judge Anne Segal was raised in Tucson and attended Ft. Lowell Elementary School, Townsand Junior High, Sahuaro High School
and graduated with distinction from the University of Arizona. She has a degree in journalism and was an editor for
the Arizona Daily Wildcat and worked as a reporter for the Tucson Daily Citizen. She won the Arizona Women's Press Contest
as well as nominations for the Hearst Foundation. Throughout her career, Anne has taken and passed
four state bar examinations -- Arizona, California, Illinois and New Mexico. This means she has undergone the thorough
and rigorous review of state law and procedure to enable her to practice law in each community. In addition,
Anne just passed her comprehensive exams in educational development philosophy and management pursuant to her PhD.
If elected, she will be the only PhD, J.D on the Justice Court bench.
After working in Washington D.C.
for Congressman Mo Udall and Senator Walter Mondale, she attended the University of San Diego School of Law where she
was a member of the Law Review. Anne worked as a San Diego County Public Defender and handled thousands of cases in the California's
equivalent of Justice Court. When Anne Fisher and Robert "Bob" Segal,
married, Anne moved to Illinois and became a prosecutor. During her tenure, Anne Segal instituted numerous programs
benefiting the Victim Witness programs, including the creation of a special waiting room for witness and videotaping children
who testified. She also instituted innovative counseling programs for domestic violence cases. She tried over
40 felony cases and, again, thousands of Justice Court cases. Missing the desert, Anne
and Bob Segal moved to New Mexico. Anne taught at the paralegal program at Dona Ana Community College and later taught
law courses to undergraduates at New Mexico State University. She then started her PhD in Educational Management and
Development.Judge Segal finished the program and graduated with honors in 2011.
At the encouragement of friends and family, Anne ran and was elected to be a Magistrate Judge and served for almost five years.
The Magistrates have the same jurisdictional authority as the courts the Pima County Consolidated Courts for Justice of the
Peace. The Court were understaffed and the judges were required to handle tremendously heavy caseloads. Again,
Anne presided over thousands of traffic cases, misdemeanors, small claims cases, as well as DUIs and Domestic Violence
cases. She actively participated in the Drug Court and helped create a mediation program for civil cases. She
was also appointed to the State Supreme Court Committee for the Rules of the Courts of Limited Jurisdiction.
In 2004, Anne and Bob decided that they needed to live closer to their aging mothers and that the school systems
in New Mexico were not sufficient to meet the needs of their children. Anne reluctantly resigned and the family moved
to Tucson. Bob and Anne Segal's family continues to thrive in Arizona. Bonnie is a sophomore at the University of Arizona,
making her a third generation Wildcat. Son Joseph Segal is a fourth year student at the Unversity of California, San
Diego and hopes to return to Arizona to attend graduate school. Stephen is joining the military in October.
Judge Anne Segal and Bob Segal look forward to spending more time with the extended family, including
the celebration of Judge Lillian Fisher for her 90th birthday. Judge Lillian Fisher also was also honored by political
action groups for her dedication to children in Pima County.

Everyone is welcome to help Anne Fisher Segal become the elected Justice of the Peace, Judicial Precinct 1, to replace
Justice Jim Angiulo, who retired due to health reasons. WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT
THING YOU CAN DO? It is to exercise your constitutional right to vote. Vote you should, and
vote you must in November. And when do you, think legal, and vote Segal. It was just lucky that Anne married
someone whose last name rhymes with legal. WHAT IF MY SUBDIVISION PROHIBITS A SIGN? Good
news!! You are in fact allowed to express yourself by putting up a political sign for Anne. It is your right to exercise
free speech! The specific law was is under the A.R.S. 33:1808:C. This law 'trumps'
local CC&R's which prohibit political signs. In effect the law allows a homeowner to place political signs on
his or her own property and the CC&Rs cannot be more restrictive than local laws. Think Legal, Vote Segal!!!!

Precinct One for Justice of the Peace extends north of the Rillito River.
To the west, the line is at Shannon Road. At Shannon, the line is then to the county line. The east end is essentially
Sabino Canyon Road, but includes areas up to Catalina Highway as well as Winter Haven and the town of Catalina. Please
support Anne if you live in this area, you can and vote for her.
Dr. Robert Segal has been placed in
charge of yard signs, having done such a wonderful job on yard signs when Anne ran for, and won, Magistrate Judge. If you
would like a yard sign, call Bob at 520 591 9700 or email him at rjsegal@gmail.com. In the unlikely event that you would
rather pound in yard signs instead of playing golf, or puttering in your garage, be sure to give Bob a call.... THINK LEGAL VOTE SEGAL This position requires a
person to demonstrate clear thinking and an ability to work well with the community. It is our People's Court.
Members of the community come to Justice Court without an attorney and with the personal belief that they will have a fair
trial and receive equitable treatment. Although not every person receives the outcome they want or expect, it is critical
that each person feels that the judge listened to the case with impartial consideration. After working for almost five
years as a Magistrate Judge, I know that I have the experience, understanding and personality to serve as your judge.
This position is not a stepping stone, but a final destination for my legal career. THINK LEGAL VOTE SEGAL Voters, please remember to vote in all elections
Every vote counts.
