Cheyenne, WY — In a significant judicial appointment, Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon has named Nathaniel Hibben as the new District Court judge for the state’s First Judicial District. This key appointment fills the vacancy left by the retirement of Judge Thomas Campbell, who stepped down earlier this year after a distinguished tenure.
Governor Gordon expressed his confidence in Hibben, citing his extensive legal experience and dedication to justice as pivotal factors in his selection. “Nathaniel’s commitment to the rule of law and his wide-ranging experience in the judiciary make him an ideal choice for this important position,” said Governor Gordon.
Nathaniel Hibben, originally from Torrington, has a robust background in law. Prior to this appointment, he served as an Assistant District Attorney in Goshen County, showcasing his capabilities in managing a diverse caseload and his aptitude for fair and balanced legal judgements. His responsibilities in this role have prepared him well for the broader challenges of a District Court judgeship.
The First Judicial District, covering Laramie County, is a critical jurisdiction that handles a significant volume of cases in Wyoming. Hibben’s role will involve overseeing both civil and criminal cases, requiring a deep understanding of the law and a balanced approach to judicial proceedings.
Legal peers and colleagues of Hibben have lauded the appointment, praising his integrity and legal acumen. His appointment is seen as a continuation of the high standards set by his predecessor. “Nathaniel has always brought a level of meticulousness and fairness to his work which is exactly what is required of a District Court Judge,” commented a senior attorney from Goshen County.
Hibben’s educational background includes a JD from the University of Wyoming College of Law, further grounding him in both the theoretical and practical aspects of law. This education, combined with his real-world experience in the legal system, provides him with a strong foundation to make informed, judicious decisions from the bench.
The appointment process included a rigorous evaluation by the Judicial Nominating Commission, which then forwarded Hibben’s name, among others, to Governor Gordon for the final selection. This process ensures that only the most qualified candidates are considered for such significant roles within the state’s judicial system.
As Judge Hibben prepares to assume his new duties, the legal community and residents of Laramie County look forward to his contributions to the judiciary. His past record promises a tenure of fairness and dedicated service in upholding the law.
