Cervera and Dominique Beck, a Marquette Law School graduate, will join Herman John and Lynn Hackbarth as the four commissioners who preside over court proceedings that include cases involving defendants in custody at the Criminal Justice Facility and pre-trial conferences for traffic matters.

Cervera and Beck were sworn in for their one-year terms on October 13, 2006, by Judge Derek Mosley at the Municipal Court.
