By Globe Staff

A veteran federal prosecutor who was part of the team that pursued a conviction against shoe bomber terrorist Richard Reid has been nominated to be a state Superior Court judge.

Timothy Q. Feeley, 58, of Marblehead, has served more than 17 years in the US Attorney's Office, rising to chief of the office's Major Crimes Unit.

Feeley also worked for nine years on complex civil litigation at the former Boston law firm of Gaston & Snow, where he was a partner, the governor's office said, announcing the nomination today.

“Tim Feeley brings to the trial bench humility and an understanding of the human condition that will ensure fair and thoughtful administration of justice,” Governor Deval Patrick said in a statement.

Patrick also nominated Maureen H. Monks, 49, of Jamaica Plain, a partner in the Women’s Law Collective in Cambridge, to the Middlesex County Division of the Probate and Family Court.

Lawrence Moniz, 60, a Taunton lawyer, was also nominated for a position on the Bristol County Division of the Juvenile Court, the governor's office said.
