North Dakota Supreme Court Justice Makes it Official

Jensen had been the presiding judge of the Northeast Central District

BISMARCK, ND — North Dakota’s newest state Supreme Court justice is officially on the job.

An investiture ceremony was held Wednesday to install Justice Jon Jensen, who has been hearing cases since August.

In July, Gov. Burgum appointed Jensen to replace Justice Carol Kapsner who resigned in April after nearly 18 years on the bench.

Jensen had been the presiding judge of the Northeast Central District.

He will serve at least two years before the general election in 2020, when he must run for a new 10-year term.
