Biographical
Ned has served as a part-time Municipal Court Judge for the City of Beaufort since 1987, and is widely known for bringing a human and sensible touch to that position. Even those not attorneys, defendants, plaintiffs or jurors, have been known to spend an afternoon or evening watching his court. He has been recognized by the The New York Times as “known for dispensing justice in cases of minor offenses with a puckish, lighthearted humor.”
In 2014, Ned was honored by the City of Beaufort by having his portrait commissioned and hung in his honor, recognizing his time and work in that position. Ned has also served as a Beaufort County Magistrate since 2010 and was appointed by Chief Justice Donald Beatty to serve MultiJurisdictional Court Judge.
