talk about the Senior Project, which, starting in 2010, all seniors must complete in
order to receive their diplomas.

"(But) what helps more than
anything is experience; when
you do so many of these cases,
you get a feel for where the truth
lies."
Patterson has been in private
practice his entire career, serv
ing clients, as he puts it, "from
all walks of life." He argues that
his unique life experiences and
diverse legal background make
him the best candidate for the
position.
"1 don't have a high school
diploma - I've got a GED, and
before I went to college, I
worked for minimum wage," he
revealed. "Because of that, I
think I'm better able to relate to
a lot of the folks who appear in
front of us."
Judge Davis has been prac
ticing law for more than 30
years. He was appointed to the
District Court bench in 1991 and

Several other grants have also
been applied for. Approximately
20 medical students will staff
the clinic each Wednesday
evening, supervised by two to
three attending faculty, alumni
or community physicians on
site. All staff, including the
physicians, are volunteers.
The DEAC Clinic will oper
ate like a fully-functional gener
al practice, with all appoint
ments scheduled in advance and
patients' financial eligibility will
be determined by the
Community Care Center before
hand. Patients will be checked
in and have their vital signs
taken by first-year students.
Patients will then be seen by a
team of one second-year student
and one third- or fourth-year
student. After visiting with the
patient, the medical students
will discuss their findings with

has served there ever since.
"Being a judge is actually a
pretty fantastic job," said Davis,
65. "It takes an understanding
of what the law is (because)
we're not there to do what we
want to do; we're there to follow
the law."
His challenger, Amy Allred,
is a Winston-Salem native who
has been practicing law since
1998. Though she says her firm
now focuses chiefly on family
law, she has represented clients
in criminal cases as well.
"I feel like I've had a suc
cessful career and practice," she
said. "I have a lot of experience
handling domestic issues and
family law... I feel that is very
important for a District Court
judge."
Davis is the former president
of the Forsyth County Bar. He
says he doesn't take his duties as
a judge lightly.
"The interesting part is the
challenge of trying to find the
correct decision, considering the
and develop a treatment plan.
The team will then explain the
treatment to the patient, and the
attending physician will sign off
on the treatment and any med
ication necessary. Patients are
also counseled on health educa
facts and the law, for each case,"
he commented. "You're con
stantly striving to make the best
decision."
Allred says her work ethic
and vigor make her an excellent
contender.
"I think I would make a
good judge," she stated. " I
have the devotion, energy and
confidence that the people of
Forsyth County deserve."
District court judges are
some of the busiest people in the
county. They hear thousands of
cases per year, everything from
child custody disputes to crimi
nal cases.
