Next week, Alameda County is set to swear in its new District Attorney, Judge Ursula Jones Dickson. County supervisors chose her for the office following the recall of her predecessor Pamela Price. Proponents of the recall criticized Price for her lack of experience and her efforts to reform the office.   They won’t be able to make those criticisms of Jones Dickson - she has been an Alameda County superior court judge for around a dozen years, and before that, she was a deputy district attorney.   Judge Jones Dickson talked with KQED’s Alex Emslie.
