The Commission on Judicial Selection today announced that applications are now being accepted for two trial court bench vacancies in the Tenth Judicial District in Anoka County.

The vacancies will occur with the retirement of the Honorable Joseph Quinn on June 30, 2006, and the retirement of the Honorable James A. Morrow on August 2, 2006. The Supreme Court certified the continuation of the chambers of both of these positions for the city of Anoka in Anoka County.

Licensed Minnesota attorneys who are residents of the Tenth Judicial District may request an application for these positions by calling John Hultquist at 651-296-0019, via e-mail at john.hultquist@state.mn.us or by writing:

75 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd.
St. Paul, MN 55155

All candidates for these vacancies must submit an application. Applications and letters of recommendation must be submitted to the above address so they are received no later than 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 28, 2006.

Applicants are asked not to contact the commission members individually, as the nine at-large members and the four district members will conduct interviews at a later date.
