Marshall selected as next magistrate judge

Megan Marshall, a Moscow private practice attorney, will serve as the next Latah County Magistrate Judge, according to an Idaho Second Judicial District Court news release.

The Second District Magistrate Commission selected Marshall after conducting interviews Wednesday for the judge position.

The vacancy was created when Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter appointed Judge John Judge to the Latah County 2nd District Court bench in September. The district court position had been vacant since Otter appointed Judge John Stegner to the Idaho Supreme Court in May to replace retiring Justice Warren Jones.

Besides Marshall, the finalists for the position included:

James Craig, University of Idaho deputy general counsel; Jennifer Ewers, a private Moscow attorney; Wynn Mosman, a private Moscow attorney; Ken Nagy, a private Lewiston attorney; and Zachary Pall, Lewis County prosecutor.

Marshall received her bachelor's degree and law degree from the University of Idaho.
