Use the following information, which is from a story in the Hastings (Neb.) Tribune, to write a contrast lead.
Dan Bryan was sworn in as district county judge for Fillmore, Saline, Thayer and Nuckolls counties last month. He was appointed to the position after Judge Ray Cellar retired.
Bryan and Cellar are from Geneva, Neb.
Bryan is no stranger to the court. For 15 years he was prosecuting cases as the Fillmore County attorney.
Bryan graduated from Creighton University. He is 39 years old.
He started hearing civil cases this month, but
|
he probably won't be hearing any criminal cases in Fillmore County for about a year because he has to complete his affairs as county attorney first.
Then he won't be prosecuting cases. Instead, he will spend most of his time listening and making decisions.
The Fillmore County Board appointed Bryan's law partner as the county attorney.
Bryan said that in his new position, he'll "have to learn to keep my mouth shut and listen."
