Joseph Siegler (September 6, 1889 - May 17, 1957) was an American Democratic Party politician and jurist from Newark, New Jersey who served in the New Jersey State Assembly. ==Biography== Siegler was born in Newark, New Jersey on September 6, 1889. He was the son of Louis and Bertha Siegler. From age nine until entering law school, Siegler worked as a newsboy. He was a 1909 graduate of New York University Law School, and was admitted to the bar in 1910. He was married on March 25, 1913 to Edith R. Untermann. His brother-in-law was William Untermann, a Newark Police Court Judge and a Newark Democratic leader. He was elected to the New Jersey General Assembly in 1918, and was re-elected in 1919. In 1927, Governor A. Harry Moore appointed Siegler to serve as a Judge of the Essex County Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court. A 1937 ruling that parents could not provide home instruction for children equivalent to their training in school as members of a social group received national attention. "It is almost impossible for a child to be adequately taught in his home," he ruled. Siegler argued that juvenile delinquency was mostly a result of domestic unhappiness. He advocated that jurisdiction of the juvenile court be extended from 16 to 21; it was later extended to 19. He retired from the bench in 1938.〔 Siegler ran for the U.S. House of Representatives in 1942, challenging two-term Republican Robert Kean. He was defeated by 17,754 votes, 43,942 (60.82%) to 26,188 (36.25%).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ourcampaigns.com/RaceDetail.html?RaceID=640445 )〕 He died of a heart ailment in 1957 at age 67.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Joseph Siegler」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
