Abraham E. Pinanski, of Brookline, has been appointed to the Superior Court bench by Governor Allen to fill the vacancy caused by the death last week of Judge David A. Lourie. The appointment was no surprise, as Judge Pinanski was highly recommended by Republic leaders both Jews and non-Jews.
The new judge, who is 42, is one of the outstanding trial lawyers in Massachusetts. During the World War he was a commissioned officer in the Ordinance Department and later a member of and legal advisor to the Claims Board of the U. S. A. He has been very active in Jewish communal affairs. He is secretary of the Federated Jewish Charities, and prominent in Zionist circles.
