Applicants sought for two Crow Wing County judge posts

The Commission on Judicial Selection Wednesday announced that applications are now being accepted for two Ninth Judicial District trial court bench vacancies in Brainerd.

The first opening is a result of a new judgeship created by the 2007 Legislature, which takes effect on Jan. 1. The second vacancy will occur with the retirement of Judge Frederick J. Casey on March 12. The Supreme Court has certified the chambers of both of these positions for the city of Brainerd in Crow Wing County.

Licensed Minnesota attorneys who are residents of the Ninth Judicial District may request an application by calling John Hultquist at (651) 296-0019, via e-mail at john.hultquist@state.mn.us or by writing: Eric J. Magnuson, Commission on Judicial Selection chairman, 130 State Capitol, 75 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., St. Paul, MN 55155.

All candidates for these vacancies must submit an application. One set of application materials will be considered for both positions. Applications and letters of recommendation must be submitted to the above address so they are received no later than 4:30 p.m. on Sept. 12.
