Members of the Jackson County criminal justice community gathered to swear-in a newly-elected judge Friday.
Judge Laura Cromwell was elected by Jackson County voters in early November.
Oregon Governor Kate Brown appointed Cromwell to replace Judge Pat Crane, who was retiring in early September.
“I feel really humbled that so many people had faith in me and wanted to see me here,” said Judge Cromwell, “and that is just such a wonderful feeling and I want to keep that same humility on the bench as well.”
Prior to becoming a judge, Cromwell was deputy district attorney for Jackson County, where she worked as a liaison for the Jackson County Mental Health Court.
