Nina F. Elgo is used to having a lot of responsibility heaped on her. Before becoming a judge, she worked at the state Attorney General’s Office for 14 years, representing the state in child abuse and neglect cases, and other cases involving children.
"My first assignments entailed representing the Department of Children and Families and the Department of Education because they were combined at that time," said Elgo, reflecting on her first big case, a special education case she followed from the administrative appeal level up to the state Supreme Court.
