Justice Court Judge Ross McKinnon has announced he will be leaving the bench at the end of the year, ending 23-years serving in Rich County.
Utah State Court’s communications director Geoffrey Fattah said applications are being accepted now to replace Judge McKinnon, who will retire on January 1.
Judge McKinnon was appointed Rich County Justice Court Judge in February 1993. He attended Utah State University and owns a cattle ranch in Randolph, where he has been a lifetime resident.
Fattah said applications to replace Judge McKinnon will be accepted through September 27. To be considered for a Justice Court judgeship, candidates must be at least 25-years-old, a citizen of the United States, a Utah resident for at least three-years, and have a minimum of a high school diploma or GED. In addition, candidates must be a resident of Rich County—or an adjacent county—for at least six-months.
The annual salary range for the position is $8,000 to $12,000 with some benefits.
Fattah explained that Utah law requires the Judicial Nominating Commission to submit three-to-five nominees to the Rich County Commission Chair William Cox within 45-days of its first meeting. Chairman Cox then has 30-days to make a selection. The candidate must then be certified by the Utah Judicial Council.
An application for judicial office form is available on the courts’ website (www.utcourts.gov/admin/jobs).
