Gov. Baker tapped a District Court clerk-magistrate and a supervisor in the Middlesex County District Attorney’s office for judgeships last week, teeing up two more nominations that will go before the Governor’s Council in the coming weeks.

Baker nominated William Farrell, a longtime attorney and first assistant clerk-magistrate in Somerville District Court, as an associate District Court justice and Samir Zaganjori, a former defense attorney who now oversees prosecutors in the Middlesex DA’s office, as an associate justice in the Boston Municipal Court.

Farrell earned his law degree from Suffolk University Law School in 1989 and spent five years as an assistant district attorney in Suffolk County, an experience bookended by stints in private practice, according to a copy of his resume provided by the Governor’s Council.

Farrell is a longtime board member and supporter of the Dorchester-based Project DEEP program.

Since 1998, he has held assistant or acting clerk-magistrate positions in Dorchester Municipal Court, Plymouth District Court, Cambridge District Court, and now Somerville District Court, where he has served as the first assistant clerk-magistrate for the past 14 years.

Zaganjori worked as an assistant district attorney in Middlesex County for six years before taking a job as a criminal defense attorney at J.W. Carney Jr. & Associates, where he worked on the defense team in the 2015 sexual assault case against New Hampshire student Owen Labrie. His resume says he also led research and drafted legal pleadings in James “Whitey” Bulger’s federal racketeering trial.

Since January 2019, Zaganjori has been a regional district court supervisor in the Middlesex DA’s office, where he supervises prosecutors in four district courts and two juvenile courts.

The council, an eight-member elected body that vets and confirms judicial appointments, scheduled a hearing for Zaganjori at 1 p.m. on Aug. 11. Councilors plan to decide next week when they will host Farrell’s hearing for the District Court judgeship.
