In Memoriam

Honorable Jason Worth

Judge Jason Worth used his HIV diagnosis as an opportunity to advance HIV/AIDS workers’ representation and rights.

On days when his illness prevented him from traveling, Judge Worth used a telephone equipped with a television  to handle settlement conferences from home. 

He explained that working as a judge was as crucial to staying alive as any precaution he could take to protect his health:  “I believe that in order to survive one has to have goals.  My goal is to be a judge with my medical condition.”
