St. Cloud State University alumni and Assistant Mille Lacs County Attorney, Mark Herzing, will be the District Court Judge in Minnesota's Seventh Judicial District.
Minnesota's Seventh Judicial District will be looking for two new judges in the coming months after a new bench seat was created and a longtime judge based in St. Cloud retires.
Governor Mark Dayton has picked a lawyer with St. Cloud Area Legal Services to be the new judge in Mille Lacs County. Sarah Hennesy will replace Judge Steven Ruble who retired at the end of 2011.
A St. Cloud lawyer, Morrison County prosecutor and Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe Judge are the three finalists for a judgeship in Mille Lacs County. The Minnesota Commission on Judicial Selection will forward the names of the three candidates to Governor Dayton for consideration.
