DU Alum Sworn in as CO Supreme Court Justice

Brian Boatright is the newest Justice on the Colorado Supreme Court. The new Justice was sworn in privately Nov. 21, 2011 and his public swearing in ceremony is on December 13th.

Boatright, 49, was selected by Governor John Hickenlooper in part because of his 10+ years as a trial court judge in the 1st Judicial District. See Denver Post article about the announcement. Boatright was a popular judge who received the highest marks in his 2008 retention survey report. His official court biography details his earlier work as a Deputy D.A. Justice Boatright graduated from the University of Denver law school in 1988. Already hard at work, the new Justice sided with the majority in five recent opinions.
