Tenth Circuit Court Judge Olin Shinholser has been elected to serve as the chair of the State Conference of Circuit Court judges for a one-year term. He was sworn in this past August at the annual business meeting of the Conference and is only the second judge from the 10th Circuit to serve.

“I am very appreciative of the great honor that I have been given to serve as the Chair of the 599 active and 106 (or more) retired circuit judges in our state,” said Shinholser. “I will work hard over the next year to live up to the trust that my colleagues have placed in me.”
