Associate Judge, City of Thornton, Colorado.

The City of Thornton is seeking Associate Judge(s).

You would join a team of approximately 14 associate judges who are called upon when coverage is needed due to the Presiding Judge being unavailable or the size of the docket requires the operation of two courtrooms and the Associate Judge handles the docket in the secondary courtroom. The associate judge presides over all stages of a case from arraignment, motions, to trial to the court or jury trial. Each associate judge receives a handbook of the policies, procedures, and sentencing guidelines. The associate judge is also trained by the Presiding Judge to ensure there are not disparities among the judges.

Provide judicial coverage when the Presiding Judge is on vacation or otherwise unavailable, or when the docket size requires an additional judge to hear the cases. Provide judicial functions for the Municipal Court, a home rule court of record, through adjudication of traffic, criminal, parking and other municipal code violations. Conduct hearings on motions, trials to the court, jury trials and other requisite judicial duties when the Presiding Judge is unavailable or in instances of judicial disqualification. Provide coverage on a temporary and as needed basis.
