Eighth Judicial District Court

Family Division

Department "T"

Welcome to my Website.

Hopefully, you and all others who will vote in the upcoming election for judicial officers will take a thorough look at the qualifications of the candidates so that you can make an informed decision as to who is the best choice for the position.  I invite you to look at the web sites and other materials available from the others in my race so that you can make a valid comparison.

I believe you will find that each of us has the basic legal credentials needed to be a Family Court Judge, but there are other important factor that I believe set me apart.  In Family Court, it is not enough to simply know the law related to family issues to be an effective Judge.  To decide these important and very personal issue, life experience is possibly more important that legal experience.  How else can anyone relate to the critical needs of families in crisis.  Look at my life history on this website and I think you will agree with me that I have a much broader, much deeper, and more varied life experience than most individuals that seek judicial office.

Even in the legal experience side, I think you will find that I have much more than the minimums you would expect from a Judge.  After you review my education and experience, hopefully you will reach that conclusion.  Maybe the most important single factor in that area is the fact that I have worked exclusively within the Family Court since 1999.  Not only do I have a knowledge of the law related to family law matters, but I have an understanding of the court processes and procedures that are unmatched by any other candidate.

In my various positions within the Family Court, I have been a leader with regard to making the Court more efficient and responsive to the needs of the public and the attorneys we serve.  Now I want to take a leadership role as a Judge in furthering the betterment of the Courts.

I appreciate the time you are taking to review my qualifications.  Whether you vote for me or someone else, I applaud you for your efforts to find the best qualified person for this critical judicial position.

Yours in the Law,

John Jensen
