September 9, 2010
Colorado: Yesterday, Governor Bill Ritter announced Monica Márquez as the newest justice of the Colorado Supreme Court. Of the appointment he said, "Monica is an analytical and independent thinker. She has a wealth of personal and professional experiences, and a deep reverence for the role our legal system plays in the everyday lives of Coloradans, and in the inter-relationship between our courts and public policy. She respects the rule of law, is conscientious and will bring an unbiased and just perspective to the court and all the cases that it hears."[1]
Prior to the appointment, Márquez headed the State Services Section of the Colorado Attorney General's Office. She has been with the agency since 2002. Before serving in this capacity, she worked in private practice.[1]
Márquez's service on the court will begin on November 30, following the retirement of Mary Mullarkey. Her first term will last two years, after which she will run for retention if she wishes to continue as a member of the court.[1]
