Judge Lorna Alksne stepped in to lead the court in early 2020, two months before COVID-19 shutdowns began
After 20 years on the bench, Superior Court Judge Lorna Alksne — who served as presiding judge at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic — has retired.
“I was amazed by how the entire legal community worked together in the implementation of video courtrooms to keep our courts open and I am so grateful to the Superior Court staff whose service during the pandemic was exemplary,” she said. Alksne, he said, “successfully led this court over one obstacle after another as it labored under the increasing weight of the pandemic.”
Thirteen years after she first took the bench, her fellow judges tapped her to be assistant presiding judge. After a two-year term, she was tapped as presiding judge, the third woman in the job.
