(St. Paul, MN) -- The Commission on Judicial Selection today announced that applications are now being accepted for a Second Judicial District trial court bench vacancy in Ramsey County. The vacancy will occur as a result of the resignation of the Honorable Louise Dovre Bjorkman effective on April 8, 2005. The Supreme Court certified the continuation of the chambers of this position for the city of St. Paul in Ramsey County.
Anyone learned in the law who is a resident of the Second Judicial District may request an application by calling John Hultquist at 651-296-0019, via E-mail at john.hultquist@state.mn.us or by writing:

The application process for the district court judicial vacancy that will occur as a result of Judge Bjorkman's resignation will be added to the application period for a district court judicial vacancy that was announced on January 28, 2005. That vacancy occurred as a result of the Supreme Court's conversion of a vacant Ramsey County Court Referee position.
All candidates for these vacancies must submit an application. One set of applications will be considered for both positions. Applications and letters of recommendation must be submitted to the above address so they are received no later than 4:30 p.m. on Monday, February 21, 2005.
Applicants are asked not to contact the commission members individually, as the nine at-large members and the four district members will conduct interviews at a later date.
